Buzz Community Garden has been looked after by the people of Lockleaze for nearly ten years. Situated behind the shops on Gainsborough Square, it’s open 24/7, creating a space of calm and relaxation in the centre of Lockleaze.
It’s been used as a classroom for gardening, landscaping and woodwork, and local people have grown 100s of kilos of food for the community. We always use permaculture growing methods- no dig, no peat and no pesticides.

In 2023 and 2024 LNT ran twice-weekly gardening sessions in Buzz Community Garden, free for everyone to attend. Attendees learnt to garden using a no-dig permaculture method, using techniques like companion planting. Buzz became a brilliant creative and social space, with 150+ residents contributing ideas, artwork, old materials and lots of time to create a thriving garden. This was funded by the Megawatt community fund through the Quartet Community Foundation.
We’re pleased to say Buzz Garden sessions have returned! See below for more details.
