ALLESLEY PARK WALLED GARDEN GROUP 

APWGG's core activity is to maintain for public use the Georgian Walled Garden left to the people of Coventry by a public benefactor. In addition, and to raise funds, the charity runs community events which combine educational activities, entertainment and opportunities for local craftspeople to demonstrate/sell their products. The produce grown by APWGG and sold to raise funds is chemical free.
