Site Features

• The site is based in the grounds of the Wrexham Glyndwr University, Northop Campus/Coleg Cambria
• We have brought the six polytunnels back into production and introduced automatic irrigation.
• We also tend and harvest the well-established large orchard.
• The polytunnels enable us to extend our season and to grow the tender crops such as melons, peaches and aubergines.

Crops

• All our crops are grown to organic principles.
• We have recently grown carrots, peas, beetroot, French beans, cucumbers, lettuce, butternut squash, peaches, melons, tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, plums, herbs and probably much more!!

Who is this site suitable for? Why?

• As much of the growing is in polytunnels it’s great for those fair weather gardeners – Usually warm and always dry!
