    I got involved a year ago on to an advert in our weekly newpaper .

    There was an article about an area that was full of weeds and had been neglected for years .

    So really this was a blank canvas that needed a lot of work.

    We are a small group of volunteers who give up their Wed to tend to this ground.

    Oh its been so hard and its a recycle organic garden.

    Weeds I no are a wildflower in the wrong place for many.
    But these were weeds and weeds so many we have dug all by hand so now apart from all the snwo now is taking shape.

    We made our bottle greenhouse this year so next years project will be using the greenhouse and laying paths also we have are getting more land for veggies and an orchard.

    We have had all plants etc dontated from local nurseries and general public spilting plants we have received.

    I will post before and after and uptodate photos.
