It’s national volunteers’ week so the perfect occasion to say a huge thanks to our amazing volunteer team. Through their commitment and hard work, the garden has been transformed over the last five years. Large areas cleared of brambles and overgrowth, stone paths, steps, walls and water tanks restored, a plant nursery started from scratch and fully equipped, and the pergola rebuilt. Not to mention the ongoing maintenance and plant care work...

They’ve brought the garden back to life and made it part of the local community, and thanks to funding from we’ve been able to restore the garden structures, add new planting and create visitor facilities so the garden can be more widely enjoyed.
