From an overgrown site to a sanctuary of hope. 🌱

β€œI remember this place before the garden was here… it’s changed so much. It is a really peaceful place to be.” – Local young person.

What used to be a site for fly-tipping is now a thriving community asset. Built in memory of a local friend, the Rise 61 Community Garden has changed the atmosphere of Gainsborough Close for the better. But we can’t keep it growing without you!

Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just want to give back, we need volunteers to help us maintain this vital space.
