The environment

The environment

We have increased the planting in the area with particular emphasis on planting pollinator friendly plants. It has also generated more interest in our main community garden through a number of events and activities such as our Spring Fair which focused on the importance of pollinators. We continue to develop and manage this space with a view to encouraged biodversity and making space for nature.
