We are delighted to announce that we have received over £10,000 in funding  to get going on our new community garden project at Paxton House. This has been a project close to our hearts for some time now and we have been busy fund raising to make it happen. It fits well with the Paxton Trust ethos of supporting local communities and using the outstanding grounds for public access. And we plan to make this, currently rather neglected area, beautiful again.

We plan to create an inclusive outdoor learning space open to the local community and school groups. We aim to provide new learning opportunities, a chance to enjoy nature and a place that can have a positive impact on mental health. We will even be growing some delicious and nutritious vegetables.

We hope the space will eventually become self sustainable through regular volunteer input. Mean while, if anyone has gardening tools, pots, seeds etc that you would be willing to donate, please let us know.
