About Tuesday Gardening
Tuesdays are the day when everyone can come to Plot 22. A typical Tuesday includes a morning gardening session from 10am until 12 noon and an afternoon session between 2pm and 4pm. In-between gardening sessions, we cook and share a plant-based lunch together, using many of the ingredients we’ve grown ourselves.
Everyone is welcome to join us for part or all of the day. If you’ve not visited before, Tuesdays are a great way to get a practical and literal taste of what Plot 22 is all about!
Tuesdays are open to all adults. No previous experience of gardening is necessary, just an interest in participating and contributing to the tending of this community garden. There are many ways to contribute and the sessions are supportive and lightly facilitated.
We have a compost toilet on site and there is also a wheelchair accessible toilet on the Weald Allotments. We have limited sheltered space so if you use a wheelchair, please let us know. Our cabin has a wood burning stove for cold days and some parts of the site are shaded on hot days.
If you’d like to find out more or want book a place for yourself, please use the form below.
If you are referring or booking in someone else it is very important that you also email us so that we can arrange an initial chat: info@plot22.org
A note about booking your place: if you have been to one of these Taster Sessions before and booked through the website you can simply email us to book your place on following occasions. For new enquiries please use the form on our volunteer page.
Thank you to our current Tuesday Gardening Sponsors
People Care Guidelines:
PLOT 22 is a special place where we can enjoy the simple pleasures of growing food to cook and share together. Whilst here we are all responsible for the safety of ourselves and each other. If you are bringing children please remember you are responsible for supervising them closely at all times.
Ensure that you and anyone you are accompanying are wearing weather-appropriate clothing and footwear.
It is important to arrive at the start of the session as we will be holding an opening circle to welcome and orientate everyone and share important safety messages.
Please bear in mind that the site is by its nature hazardous: with open fires, ponds, fungi, insects, occasionally wild animal faeces, overhanging branches, and uneven or slippery ground.
First Aid kits are located in the cabin. Fire circle safety, safe use of the wood burner, kettle, tools, and seasonal hazards will be explained at the start of each session.
We have a compost toilet on-site and provide handwashing facilities.
Please observe careful hygiene when preparing or eating food and help others you may be supporting to do the same.
PLOT 22 is a no alcohol, no smoking, vegetarian site.
Sometimes we allow participants to bring well-behaved dogs - please ask. They will need to be kept on a lead during the session.
Photo permission:
We ask that you do not take any photographs of people whilst on-site without first seeking their permission.
Sometimes PLOT 22 session leads would like to take photos to record and share news of PLOT 22 activities online. We understand that you or someone you are responsible for may not want to appear in these photos and this may be for important reasons. Please let us know.
