More about our impact
The environment
Our project is environmentally friendly. We are in the centre of the Coquet Enterprise Park in Amble and we are the only green space where we can help to offset the carbon emissions from neighbouring businesses. We created a garden that invited wildlife and beneficial insects and used organic and peat free compost, as well as natural materials to build and create beds and structures.
The local economy
The project supported local businesses in buying compost and wood for activities and food for celebration events.
Volunteering, jobs & education
The project created volunteering roles for individuals to support the development of the garden. It increased women's confidence and teamworking skills and they developed further skills in horticulture and woodworking as well as traditional skills in using the willow, which is growing in the garden.
Arts, culture & heritage
The project included crafts and traditional skills and brought back those lost skills that may benefit the community in hard times and the environment, such as willow weaving, diy and recycling projects.
Activity, health and leisure
Gardening is known to be an activity that benefits individuals through contact with the outdoors, gentle exercise and motivation which goes a long way to increase a persons physical and mental wellbeing. We also encouraged women to come along to environmental walks throughout the seasons.
