We are looking to set up a community garden on the University of Cumbria, Ambleside campus, that is based on the 'incredible edible' concept. It would involve planting herbs and vegetables that everyone can access. Any signatures would be greatly appreciated as the petition will be used for support when we ask the university for permission.

The conversations I have had with fellow students lately confirm that a shared space for growing food would enrich our campus life significantly. I am currently organizing the specific plans for the garden layout to ensure we present a clear and sustainable vision when we approach the university administration.

Seeing this momentum grow has been a profound experience that suggests a real hunger for shared green spaces on our campus. It is heartening to realize how many of you envision an edible landscape where we can nurture both the earth and our community together.

This would be amazing for the campus vibe. Really hope the uni lets you use the space for this.
YES PLEASE. fresh veg right on campus is exactly what we need here, total no brainer!
As the UCSU Environmental Rep. I'd love to see this scheme trialled on Ambleside Campus and hopefully eventually spread throughout the university, it has my full support, best of luck with the petition.
Sustainable healthy living is the foundation for what our campus stands for - nature, outdoors and conservation.
Shocked to see that something like this hasn't yet happened already! Go for it guys!
Such a good idea!
Fantastically forward thinking. This is a tremendous venture.

it would be a great challenge for students to create spaces using recycling material and reduce or own waste. Also I would love to try out my own developing dry stone wall skills to create raised beds, using the stone from the mound from the new builds.
