Brilliant news, thanks everyone!

We are enhancing Kemble Community Gardens (KCG). We will make additions which will benefit nature and the environment, and will also make the space more welcoming for the local community.
The KCG Committee are committed to creating a vibrant & sustainable environment that benefits both wildlife & our community. We are thrilled to introduce our latest addition, a Community & Wildlife Haven Project, designed to transform a piece of land into a thriving ecosystem & a welcoming space for all visitors. For our wildlife we will: - create a stunning wildlife pond. This picturesque addition will serve as a lifeline for various wetland creatures, including frogs & dragonflies. In an era of extreme weather conditions, providing a clean, safe water source is paramount to supporting the wildlife that relies on it. - install bird boxes which will provide shelter & breeding spaces, helping these beautiful birds not just survive, but thrive in our village. - clear scrub areas of rubbish & non-beneficial plants. For our residents we will: - make the site more welcoming, relaxing & informative, so more of our community engage with and share in our village's wonderful asset.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The pond and bird boxes will go some way to safeguard two of nature's most threatened areas: wetland wildlife and birds. We recognise our responsibility to help support and protect both. To ensure our gardens are a place of relaxation and reflection for all, we will set up seating areas. Whether you're a resident or a visitor, we want you to feel welcome here. A notice board will stand proudly on our site, offering valuable information to residents and engaging, educational posters for our young visitors. This will help us communicate the incredible value & importance of our gardens. Our gazebo will be a versatile addition, serving as a shelter for events in all weather conditions. We look forward to hosting gatherings, educational sessions, and community celebrations under its protective canopy. We are dedicated to maintain a clean, safe environment. Through litter and scrub clearance, we will ensure that our site remains safe and accessible to both wild and human visitors.
Steps to get it done:
Join us in our mission! Most local land is taken for development or intensive farming. KCG stands as a sanctuary for our precious wildlife. From slow-worms & hedgehogs to bats, birds and bees, our gardens provide a sustainable & nurturing home for these vulnerable animals. Our gardens are also a place for people to connect with nature & each other. From school visits that inspire young minds to family picnics that create lasting memories, KCG offers a safe, natural environment for all ages to enjoy. As we continue to nurture KCG, we invite you to be a part of our mission. Your support, whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spending time in this magical space, helps us sustain & grow this haven of nature and community. This exciting project is only possible with the generous support of people like you. By contributing, you are not only helping create a haven for wildlife but also nurturing a sense of community & environmental stewardship in our village.
