We are the talk of the town!

Empty Common talk at the University Centre
The weather has been unseasonably cold and we still have daffodils so late in the season! The Garden is going from strength to strength. The University's Architecture department will help with our project of building a meeting hut. Our coordinator is applying for funding and we are keeping our green fingers crossed! 

Gates Scholars came to work in the Garden in February and they might come back again. We had groups of students and garden enthusiasts visiting before, so if you are keen on giving us a hand, just get in touch or turn up on a Sunday from 10.30am.

A talk about the Empty Common Garden was held at the University Centre at a meeting of the group Newcomers and Visiting Scholars. These researchers often come with their families and they were interested to hear they can drop in on a Sunday and even join us during the time they are in Cambridge. 

Last but not least, a radio presenter from Cambridge 105 has visited the garden twice. A programme about the Garden will be broadcast soon and might be available online. Visit https://cambridge105.co.uk/ to find out more.
