Manor Park Community Garden - £20,000

Our aims are to make Manor Park Community Garden an inclusive beautiful space in which people feel safe, explore and discover nature and can mix outside their immediate friendship circles, aligning to our community priority to make a greener public space.  

This space will be open for all members of the community to come

together in and will benefit people’s wellbeing, health and social connection

as well as the local environment. Outcomes include:

•                       A peaceful green space for any local resident

or those that work in the area

•                      A

retreat for those who don’t have a garden of their own

•                      A

‘neutral’ space in which people from different ethnic and socio-economic groups

can get to know each other

•                      A

space for residents to hone their gardening skills and empower them with simple

measures that help to green their streets, balconies, front gardens,

windowsills

•                      A

meeting space for all residents in Manor Park and a place that can host community

enhancing activities.

•                      A

place for sharing plants, vegetables and seeds. To reuse and share, improving

recycling of gardening plants and materials.

•                      A
