Nightingale Community Garden

For everyone to enjoy
We have turned a dis-used bowling green into a biodiverse garden for everyone to enjoy. We are in a corner of Nightingale Park/Rec, across the Hills Road from Addenbrooke's hospital and biomedical campus in South Cambridge.

5 GoodGymers have supported Nightingale Community Garden with 1 task.
