We are ready to rent out our raised beds and let the public in to see our special place.

It’s taken time, almost a year. I’ve gone grey, I’ve doubted myself, I’ve cried, shouted and occasionally smiled. But thanks to Doug and CSV Environment team – I have got through this and its not a happy ending… It’s a happy beginning!

Our opening days are Thursday, Friday and Saturday 12-5pm from April 1st until 30th September. For some events and exhibitions, we will be open longer and more frequently, but these will be our core hours.

Please come along and help us celebrate the opening of the garden to the public on Saturday 1st April 2012 from 12 noon until 5pm. We will have a BBQ and drinks from 1pm. Hopefully, if its a warm afternoon you can hang out by the canal and enjoy the the coming and goings of Eloise’s piece for Fierce Festival.

You could even rent a raised bed and do some planting. A bed can be yours for £8.00 a month!

This is how it looked in May 2011 when I took this picture, however, this had been the view since 2006 when I first came to this site.

The same view last month in February 2012 working on the site to build the raised beds.

This was taken today. It is still a blank canvas, but it's ready to be painted - (excuse the metaphor!)
