History

Green Minds began as a staff-student gardening initiative back in 2018. As a group, we've created a poppy flower displays for the First World War Centenary, dug new flower beds across the campus, created the Outdoor Classroom near Cafe Martineau, and developed orienteering and wildlife trails.

Now we're looking to bring alive some of the tired and neglected areas below with fresh planting and new ideas.
