The Exeter Urban Garden Project aimed to transform some disused land into a vibrant sustainable garden and outdoor learning space accessible to the whole community. Driven through the Foundation Learning Faculty, the project was a focal point of the College’s ambitious Sustainability Programme and intended as a replicable example of sustainable living for Exeter. Search 'Stepping Up in Sustainability' to find similar projects.
The aim of the project was to raise awareness of sustainable development to learners attending construction and motor vehicle courses and for employees of small businesses and to raise awareness of the local employment opportunities available in the new emerging Low Carbon Goods and Services sector. The College wanted to develop courses and programmes in the area of sustainability and this project presented them with the catalyst to begin to pilot a number of different qualifications, which would be delivered as part of main learning courses for particular groups of learners.
