Space to Visit

Residents developed this community garden in 2012 to replace a space that was lost during redevelopment. The garden features a wildlife pond and a raised gold fish pond, native hedgerows, fruit trees and an ‘edible’ hedge composed of rosemary, bay, gooseberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, whitecurrants, raspberries and other assorted herbs. The beds are a combination of individual plots which residents living in the adjacent housing blocks use to grow vegetables; and communal vegetable beds under crop rotation enable all residents to harvest.
