The project aims to provide a space for the local community to come together and create a resource for local residents to enjoy. You do not need to be a gardening expert to join, just a willingness to get stuck in!

Denny explains that “volunteers are fully supported to be able to benefit from growing organic produce, and be part of a scheme to donate fresh food to those in our community who are in food poverty”.

Since the project began in early 2020 the site has been cleared, raised beds made and herb and flower gardens have been planted with the help and ongoing support of volunteers.

Project activities include: 

• digging,

• building shelters

• planting – with aspects of science and chemistry

• environment care (recycling)

• composting

• craft

• insect attracting/preservation

• growing and cooking including meal budgeting and healthy eating
