The Community space has a
Community Garden growing both flowers and vegetables, a Men's Shed, an Outdoor
Gym, a seating area and a meeting place for Walking Groups.
As part of making our space
inclusive, we aim to be welcoming to anyone who would benefit from the
physical, emotional and social benefits of our community garden.
