Garden Group
Our group was set up with the aim to help maintain and improve areas which have been neglected due to the limited budget for parks and green spaces. We work on a variety of tasks such as tidying beds, replanting, trimming back footpaths, controlling weeds, working on the sensory beds and the new wildlife garden situated above the waterwheel pit.

We meet on Tuesday mornings around 9.30 am and have task days throughout the year. We may consider occasional evening sessions if people are interested.
