Cambridge allotment project celebrates 15 years of helping homeless gardeners to flourish

For 15 years a small area of Cambridge has been providing homeless people with the opportunity to learn new skills and get green fingers.

The Cambridge Cyrenians Allotment Project, which is tucked away at the Whitehill allotments on Elfleda Road, marked its anniversary on Friday (September 6) with a small celebration.

Among the guests was Cambridge MP Daniel Zeichner, who met the homeless gardeners and staff who explained how the project works.
