its turned an area previously used for dog waste into a beautiful garden and wildlife sanctuary, with food growing beds that help everyone grow and share great food to feed their families, as well as tackling loneliness and providing a space for local schools to teach kids about nature. It brings together the fantastic range of residents surrounding the garden in a way nothing else has, and has won awards from the council and Britain in Bloom. we're passionate and 'hands on' volunteers but sometimes need a hand with the heaviest tasks so grateful for any help you can give!
