Barracks Lane Community Garden

Barracks Lane Community Garden is a beautiful green space and eco building at the heart of a vibrant community in Oxford. It is for everyone to use and enjoy and hosts many events and activities throughout the year.

We will be taking on a few different maintenance tasks around the garden to keep it looking lovely; weeding, watering, pruning and painting.

Please bring your own gardening gloves if you have some (don’t worry if you don’t- we’ll bring some spares). All tools will be provided, but if you have any secateurs which you can safely transport we are always in need of those.

Meeting options:
* If you would like to run to the task as a group meet at Richard Benson Hall, Cowley Road at 6pm.
* If you would prefer to meet at the task location please aim for 6:15pm at Barracks Lane Community Garden, Barracks Lane, off Cumberland Road, OX4 2AP.

Options are available to run between 3km and 5km in total

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
