"We run a community garden based within the park. The community vegetable garden is a place for many to access on a regular basis for many reasons. We are a friendly, diverse group and we have just finished work making part of the vegetable garden accessible for mobility access. This includes, a road side two way opening gate with a ramp onto a level flat surface area with raised beds, wheel chair accessible potting bench and wheel chair accessible picnic benches.
"We are hopeful this new work will open up part of the garden to service users, social prescribers and other organisations who may benefit from accessing the community garden group.
"If this is something people may want to use or benefit from, or you may know of any other services/organisations then please get in touch."
