Rocky Park Community Garden NEW
The Garden
Rocky Park is an urban community garden established in 2009, rising up from a disused play area plagued by antisocial behaviour. The garden became a great success and led the way for many other community food gardens across the borough. Rocky Park is run and maintained by the community. There are 70 individual raised growing beds, communal growing areas, an urban orchard, a bug hotel, various types of composting and much more. Growers grow a wide variety of vegetables and flowers, with families growing together as well as individuals.The garden is perfect for picnics amongst various flowering plants and shrubs.
Head Community Gardner: Michael Howard
