The Garden at Lower Road
Clearing a strip of land from brumble: this is the first step to start a community garden open to everyone
We have been granted permission to do a community garden on a strip of land that has been abandoned for three decades. Our vision is to create a community garden open to everyone, where the youngest and eldest of our communities are specially welcomed.
Please note that the land is privately owned and being rented to us, a community association independent from Melville Court.

Bramble clearing

It was a big task for only 3 people. The area has been neglected for around 40 years and needs a lot of clearing. We managed to get a big chunk done before it started getting dark and rainy!
All I want for Christmas is my two front trees (to be chopped down!)

We returned to The Garden to continue with clearing the brambles and self-seeded trees. We made good progress but there is more to do - we will be back next week! 💪
