Allotments
Allotments
The University has three sets of allotments, located in different areas across the campus green space. Each allotment has a collection of planters which are available to Staff and Students for them to grow their own plants, flowers, herbs, fruits and vegetables.
Allotment Locations
The locations of the planters are shown on the map below.
- 11 planters on the Schwann Building, Level 4 rooftop
- 11 planters on the Canal Side Woodland Walk (opposite the Lockside Building)
- 4 planters behind the Joseph Priestley Building
All of the planters are accessible. Please see our Accessible campus map to see the various routes to the planters.
Planter owners will have access to a numbered, raised wooden or concrete planter in which to grow their produce, and access to a storage box containing gardening tools.
Seeds, bulbs and plants are to be supplied by the individual, although we do encourage sharing and swapping at plant swap events.
