Triangle Garden The Triangle
Residents' Association started a community garden in Ransom's
Recreation Ground, Nightingale Road some time ago and it is
growing in variety, with an orchard, sensory garden, herbs,
plants for dyeing, a pond area & much more of interest. They
would very much like to increase the number of volunteers, so
if you would like to be involved, perhaps because you have no
garden of your own and/or would like the sociability of community
gardening, please get in touch with Rosie Rigg on 01462 435316.
Volunteers meet on Fridays from 4-5.30 p.m. March-October inclusive. More information
