Benfieldside Community Garden's First Birthday

What a year we have had - so much has been achieved in just one year. Take a look at our fabulous booklet to see how much we have achieved. 

Our Plans

Plans have been submitted to the council for a summerhouse and a composting toilet.  We also have landscape gardeners booked in to help us complete the transformation. Over the winter, and weather permitting, we will be getting some fabulous fully accessible garden picnic benches. Plus in April and May, the new fully accessible paths will be laid. Our landscape gardeners are experts in dry stone walling, so we are looking forward to them using their skills to reuse all of the stones in the garden!

Future Events

Our FREE community children's' events have been extremely popular, and it has been fabulous to see how much the children enjoy being outside in the fresh air. We are really looking forward to our future events - they will be even bigger and even better, when we get all of the new facilities in place.

Our Funders

Can we say a special thank you to our funders, without their grants we would not have achieved as much as we have. We are so excited about the future.

Thank you

Can we say a huge thank you top everyone in the community who has supported us. We have had a whole host of volunteers of all ages, and we fully appreciate you all! We have planted our vegetables for the winter, and filled the garden with spring bulbs and we can't wait to see the results in the spring.
