Showfield car park community garden

One of our latest projects was the creation of a new community garden at the entrance to the Showfield car park.

This project was made possible through a grant from the Co-op's Community Fund and with assistance from Co-op contractors Ground Force, who provided labour and machinery to clear the tired old shrubs from the site.

After a lot of hard work by volunteers the site has now been completely cleared and dug over, and replanting is well underway. A beautiful new path and seating area have been created by local landscaper David Weighell.

We received a letter from Rishi Sunak MP congratulating SPIOTA for the completion of the project and praising the display and hard work of all involved. You can read the full letter here.
