Passfield Hall Garden

The Sustainability Team at Passfield Hall, consisting of the Warden and 4 students plan to enhance the existing garden at Passfield. The aim is to make the garden more bio-diverse and attractive for current and future residents.

The plan is to create a better environment for the existing bees and to attract additional wildlife such as birds and insects. The herb garden(s) and raised bed will be a shared resource for both staff and students alike, with an informal community garden club allowing for individuals to gain insights into gardening and enable them to contemplate and preserve wildlife collectively.

Passfield Hall is ideal for this type of project. As well as the existing population of bees, the configuration of Passfield (where a central courtyard garden is encased by the three main residential blocs) means that all residents will pass through the garden on a daily basis and enjoy its smells, colours and (where bees and birds are involved) their sounds.

Beyond the environmental benefits of improving the garden, the project will also help to create a strong sense of community within the residence. It provides an example of an environmental “win-win” project. As well as the environmental benefits, it would be popular with holiday guests at Passfield and should help to attract yet more booking for the Hall, helping to subsidize students’ rents.
