The site has 29 plots, growing anything from traditional crops to soft fruit, exotic vegetables and culinary and medicinal herbs. There are also many permanent trees and shrubs giving the site a feeling of peaceful escape from the city. Informal guided tours of the site with background information and site history, alongside an information display. Access will be from the gate at the top of Beechwood Drive. There are a number of other gates but only that gate will be staffed all day. There is free parking on the street, but not within the site.
