Nightingale Community Gardens

In 2013 we created 27 gardens and two raised beds for the physically handicapped in an old abused derelict play area. Here residents, young and old, grow a wide variety of vegetables/fruit and flowers, excess produce being donated to the local Foodbank. We share three Greenhouses, two sheds and a communal area for activities. We have been awarded a Green Flag Community Award for the past 7 years.
