I've been helping the Furzedown Project to create their new community garden located in the Bowling Club in Pringle Gardens.

I cleared the area and prepared the ground over a period of 5 months. Then with the help of 12 volunteers we brought in more than 50 wheelbarrow loads of compost and woodchip to create no dig beds!

The garden is a fantastic place for vulnerable local people without gardens to grow, nurture, harvest and eat what they produce. People now have a place to enjoy an active hobby alongside new friends.
