About us
We are a small and growing group who have been meeting since February 2009. Our aim is to raise awareness of Transition and the issues involved (ie, peak oil, climate change), and to do good and cheerful things in Crookes and Walkley.

We have a community garden on Hallamgate Road in Crookes, and we've had funding to build vegetable planters in tiny front yards in Walkley, in conjunction with Grow Sheffield.

We'd love to do more, so please do get in touch if you would like to help in the garden or have an idea for another project.

You can follow us on Facebook at

We get together most weeks, often at our garden on Hallamgate Road. You can contact us via email: [mailto:jennifer.c.brooks'AT'googlemail.com 'jennifer.c.brooks'AT'googlemail.com] or via our mailing list.

Upcoming Events
Wednesday 18th September, 7pm - Cobden View Pub

An informal meeting in the pub to talk about what's going on at the Hallamgate community garden, and what other projects people might like to think about. Please do join us and bring friends along.
