Constable Street Community Allotment

From permaculture to pizza ovens, there is a lot going on in this half-acre site in the Boulevard area of Hull. 

Photography shows a very large and lush tree next to some long grass in an outdoor space. Closer to the camera we can see a group of children sat at a table together. The scene is warm and peaceful.

Rooted in Hull urban farm

Established in 2014, Rooted in Hull was an idea of two friends to create a unique space in the City where people could celebrate the wide range of ways they enjoy food through growing and cooking.
