I remember being enthralled by the quirky little space, full of things to look at, touch, hear and smell.

Three years on and I'm now one of the 'adopt-a-plotters', in partnership with my friend and our students.

Every time I walk through the brightly-coloured gates I get an immediate sense of peace. Surrounded by greenery, it's the perfect place to let your mind drift and forget about the daily grind.

Not only have I enjoyed meeting new friends and learning new skills, but the sense of satisfaction from seeing things grow has been great and at times hilarious (thinking our spring onions were prize-winning when they turned out to be... garlic.

Southsea Green offers a space to create, connect and enjoy the outdoors in our busy little city.

Why not come along and see us? If the gate is open you'll always be welcome.
