This garden has only been established for one-year and the community were experimenting with the possibility of growing fresh produce on waste land. Community members were advised that nothing would grow in the area due to poor soil quality and being on the site of a demolished house. However, they were not deterred and the garden has surpassed all expectations and they are now looking to expand. The community are fully responsible for the maintenance of the garden and there is very much a sense of ownership, respect and pride.
