Located in Downham, Brook Lane Community Garden has developed over the years into a thriving allotment and wildlife habitat. With up-cycled buildings, raised beds, polytunnels, orchard and pond, Brook Lane hosts students from Nash College for work experience activities every week and works with children from Burnt Ash Primary School once a week as well.
