southampton garden tool library

We're making it easier than ever for you to get your hands dirty and get the benefits of greening your spaces. Our Garden Tool Library provides convenient access to essential gardening equipment while removing financial and storage barriers that often hinder green space improvement projects.

We're thrilled to unveil our latest initiative: the Garden Tool Library, a groundbreaking project made possible through the generous support of Southampton City Council's Community Chest. At Southampton National Park City, we're dedicated to fostering a greener, more sustainable future for our city, and our Garden Tool Library is a key step towards achieving that vision.

​

Empowering Community Action:

Our Garden Tool Library is designed to empower individuals and groups throughout Southampton to take action in enhancing their local environment. We understand that one of the barriers to community gardening and green space improvement projects is the cost of acquiring the necessary tools. That's why we're proud to offer a solution that removes this financial burden, allowing more people to participate in initiatives that benefit our natural surroundings.

​

handy Access at Two Locations:

With kits available for borrowing at two convenient locations – Aldermoor Farm on the West side of the city and Sholing Valley Study Centre in the East – accessing the tools you need has never been easier. Whether you're a resident looking to spruce up your neighborhood park or a community group eager to transform a communal housing green space, our Garden Tool Library has you covered.

​

Borrowing Made Simple:

Borrowing from our Garden Tool Library is straightforward. Simply pay a refundable deposit via BACS, and you'll gain access to a comprehensive toolkit tailored to your gardening needs. The borrowing period is flexible and will be determined by agreement, ensuring that you have ample time to complete your project with ease.
