A fantastic turnout from local residents helped make the launch of the new Lillington Library Community Garden a wonderful success.

Working alongside Cubbington & Lillington Environmental Action Now, I spent the morning creating the first beds in what will hopefully become a thriving community space for everyone to enjoy.

The event had a lovely community feel from start to finish. There was plenty of conversation as neighbours got to know one another, a song & a poem to celebrate the launch. Of course, no community event would be complete without refreshments and delicious cake to keep everyone fuelled!

It was brilliant to be involved right from the beginning of this new initiative and to help local residents create something that will continue to grow long after the day itself. We can't wait to see how the garden develops over the coming months.
