Project G10
This is a wonderful project that has managed to get the local community involved in our gardens.
This is a wonderful project that has managed to get the local community involved in our gardens.
It is the continuation of the wildlife corridor from previous projects along the same road (Project G6, Project G8 and Project M5a).
We have left the middle of this area as open grass for a community gathering place.
The project was started in April 2016 and completed in June 2016.

For a full picture diary of the garden please see the below.
This project involves a large area (about 120m²) but the majority will be left as grass for a community meeting area. Below is a list of the majority of plants we have used and a count of how many went in, however, over time this will change as we get new plant donations that can help diversify the area. As this project is ongoing, the list will be updated regularly and does not contain the full list yet.
