A huge thank you to the members of Silver Foxes Bingo Club for presenting us with a hugely generous donation of £500 towards our Walled Garden restoration crowdfunder 💚🌿

The club, who meet at Fox Lane Sports Club, have raised funds through raffles, draws and community fundraising activities to support a variety of local good causes, and we feel incredibly grateful that they chose to support us.

Their donation, plus our plant sale over the weekend, has helped us cross the amazing £10,000 mark in our campaign- a massive milestone for the project 🙌

We’re now into the final push with just 5 days left on the crowdfunder. Every donation, share and conversation genuinely makes a difference as we work to bring this historic space back to life for the community.

Thank you again to everyone involved at Silver Foxes Bingo Club for believing in what we’re building together 🌱

Share the word for Simon, a local talented artist 🎨

PLEASE SHARE 🙏🏻

Hey! 👋🏻 Im still on the look out for more local stockists of my art prints. I have had a good response so far but I will need your help and support to make this work.

I am now able to fully focus on all the art stuff and I know a few have been waiting for a while on your commissions. Thank you all for your understanding and patience.

I will have more news to come in the next few weeks which I am excited about. I've taken a chance going full time with my art and I would love to keep doing this for a very long time!

You are all amazing! ☺️☺️☺️

Come and see us tomorrow 🪴💚

What a lovely day at the Walled Garden 🌿

It was amazing to see so many people turn up today to support the project whilst also grabbing some real bargains at our plant sale.

The park was buzzing with the fantastic Brass Bands and the giant bubbles 🫧

A huge thank you as well to Barbara, Jane and Kath for giving up their time to help today, we honestly couldn’t have done it without you 💚

If you missed today, don’t worry - we’ll also be open tomorrow from 11am–2pm with plenty more plants available 🌱

Thank you again to everyone who came along, donated, shared kind words or simply stopped for a chat. Every bit of support helps us keep moving forward with the Walled Garden project 🌿

A little creative update from the Walled Garden 🌿

We’ve created these flyers to help spread the word about what we’re building together at Worden Park - a space for community, wellbeing, growing, heritage and connection.

One small ask…

If you run a local business, café, shop, salon, community venue or workplace noticeboard, would you be happy to pop a few flyers out for us? 💚

Every single conversation, scan, share and display genuinely helps us reach more people and bring new supporters into the project.

If you’d be happy to help, drop us a message and we’ll get some flyers over to you 🙌

We’ve been busy growing beautiful plants… and now we need to find them new homes 🌿

This Bank Holiday weekend we’re holding a plant sale at The Walled Garden, Worden Park - with herbs, flowers, veggie plants and more, all helping support the restoration of this historic space.

Nothing fancy. Just good plants, good people, and a community trying to bring something special back to life in Leyland.

Every purchase helps us keep moving forward 💚

📍 The Walled Garden, Worden Park
📅 Sunday 24th & Monday 25th May
⏰ 11am–2.30pm

Feel free to pop by, have a wander and support the project.

It is safe to say that I and chalkboards don’t get on 🤝😂
But at least I’m finally putting my 2007 BTEC Graphic Design qualification to some use…

🌿 Plant Sale at the Walled Garden 🌿
📍 Worden Park Walled Garden
🕚 Sunday 24th & Bank Holiday Monday 25th May
⏰ 11am – 2.30pm

We’ll have:
🌱 Herbs
🍅 Tomatoes
🌸 Wildflowers
🪴 Garden plants
…and probably several smudged chalkboard signs.

Every plant sold helps support our community garden and restoration project.

We look forward to meeting you. We will be accepting both cash and card on the day, all funds raised going directly into getting the space back open for you to enjoy 💚

Imagine if every local business gave just a little back to the town we all share...

Rooted Connections CIC isn’t just restoring a garden.

Together, we’re creating a welcoming space where people can slow down, connect with nature, learn new skills, improve wellbeing, and feel part of their community again.

A place for older adults, families, volunteers, children, carers, local groups and future generations.

But we can’t do it alone.

As our crowdfunding campaign enters its final stretch, we’re reaching out to businesses, employers and teams who genuinely care about people, community and the environment.

Could your workplace help us cross the finish line?

Many companies are actively looking for meaningful local projects that support their 2026 CSR, ESG, wellbeing, volunteering or community impact goals. This project delivers real, visible local impact right here in South Ribble.

Whether it’s:
🌱 A company donation
🌱 Sharing our campaign internally
🌱 A staff fundraiser
🌱 Volunteer support
🌱 Introducing us to the right person in your organisation

…it all helps.

This is about more than funding a project.

It’s about helping bring life back into a historic community space and creating something local people can feel proud of for years to come.

If you work for a business that values community, sustainability, wellbeing or giving back, please consider mentioning us to your employer or CSR team.

Every share, introduction and pledge genuinely matters right now ❤️ If you’d like to support what we’re building, the link is in the comments 💚

A huge thank you to Leyland in Bloom for their very kind donation of plants left over from their recent plant sale 🌿💚

It’s always wonderful to see community organisations supporting one another, especially when everyone is working towards making Leyland greener, brighter, and more welcoming for everyone.

We’re so grateful for the support, and the plants will be very much appreciated here at the Walled Garden 🌸

If you don’t already follow Leyland in Bloom, please do take a look at the fantastic work they do throughout the town. Their volunteers work incredibly hard behind the scenes to help make Leyland look beautiful all year round 🌱

Community really is at the heart of everything 💚
