Sponsors and volunteers
From the very beginning, our aim was to design and build this garden by working closely with local residents, suppliers, and organisations. Many different people and groups, each bringing their own skills and ideas, have helped make this garden a reality. It shows what we can achieve when we all work together towards a shared goal.
Below is a list of the people and organisations who have supported and helped create these gardens. Each has contributed time, materials, and expertise to bring the vision to life, from constructing planters and painting display boards to transporting materials and planting greenery. This project would not have been possible without you.
