I don’t have a garden so am always keen to visit green spaces close by. Barracks Lane Community Garden was recommended to me by a friend. On approaching the garden entrance I was greeted by warm and welcoming cheery signs along the lines of - ‘Open and welcome to all’, ‘join our community’, ‘come in and enjoy the flowerbeds’ etc. How lovely and inviting, I thought. This garden obviously wants to serve its local community, especially those with limited access to a decent nature area. Just as I entered the garden, which was quiet and peaceful, a lady from a small group of about 6 people sat under a sheltered area shouted over to me ‘Sorry! This is a private event!’ Obviously I was not welcome. I left after receiving some hard stares from the group. I have no issue with people hiring the space, but it’s the misleading signs on the entrance which disappoint me. To make someone feel so welcome by beckoning them inside with enticing signage, then essentially telling them to clear off, is not a very nice feeling at all. Please work on signage and accessibility.
Very nice community garden. Has a nice small cosy room with fire place. We hired it for a get together.
I had last been to the gardens 7 years ago so it was very interesting to see how the site had developed. It is now the perfect place for a party. Safety and accessibility were obviously important to the designer. The yurt is a great place to hide in if it rains.
