Two months ago People and Gardens were fortunate enough to receive some funding from The Big Lottery for our “New Growing Project”.

The grant of £9,730 will go towards paying for an experienced horticultural worker to work with us for one year, assisting in our new growing programme.

Other parts of the grant will be spent on compost, feed, watering and seeds.

This makes a huge difference to the practical aspects of People and Gardens and we’re delighted to be lucky enough to receive this funding.
