About the Garden
Barracks Lane Community Garden is a community-run green space off the Cowley Road in East Oxford. It hosts many regular events as well as special and annual events. It is also open every weekend throughout the summer for all to visit and enjoy.
Barracks Lane Community Garden has been transformed by local effort from a toxic waste-filled old garage site into a beautiful garden. The project is a registered charity managed by the local community. The garden opened in 2007 and is open to all. Download the: Summer 2010 Leaflet
