​Some photographs of other people involved with the project -
It began in 2008 with a vision, a hand-saw and a garden spade, a simple one really, to create a garden adjacent to the Community Hall at St Peter's Fairwater, a garden for the community by the community.  Just a few years on, what has been achieved is a credit to the Church and local community;  a beautiful, community garden, involving and engaging a wide cross-section of local people and community groups and offering training, skills and personal development.

And where is the PROJECT MANAGER I hear you ask?  In the pond looking for gold (for the Hall refurb.) but coming up with invasive weeds……but in his busy head - (and on his computer) a lot of networking hopefuls!! And all the time singing his mantra:  It can be done, It can be done….
