Inside the Learning Garden

Located within the historic walled garden in the Harris Garden, the Learning Garden is a new ‘living laboratory.'

It's designed to support environmental education for school pupils, students, and the wider University community.

The project is a central part of the University’s 2026 centenary celebrations, reflecting its long-standing commitment to environment and climate education, and its ambition to inspire the next century of learning, research, and community engagement.

The development has been made possible through a combination of University investment and the generous support of donors to the University’s Centenary Fund. The overall project represents an investment of close to £1 million, demonstrating the enormous ongoing value of philanthropy to the University’s mission.
