COMMUNITY GARDEN 2010

ST. ANDREW’S CHURCHCommunity Garden Creation

This garden is created from an original design by Emily Waters.

The garden was the basis of a design project for 3rd year students on the

Diploma in Horticulture course at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Emily’s design was selected following feedback from the local community.
