A historic walled garden at Worden Park ๐ฟ
Being carefully restored for community use
A project by Rooted Connections CIC Monday-Friday 10am-3pm
The Walled Garden is a Partnership project. We are supporting people with learning difficulties to develop horticultural skills, life skills and build positive relationships within the community. Within the Walled Garden we grow a variety of veg, perennials, herbs and flowers. We also hold regular activities and events for the community. So get your wellie bobs on and come along and see what is going on.

We'll be welcoming some fantastic community stallholders, offering a chance to discover local organisations, crafts and small businesses, and we'll also have a free children's activity to keep little ones entertained.
We'll also be holding a small plant sale, with beautiful snapdragons, cosmos and other plants grown right here at The Walled Garden

A huge thank you to the members of Silver Foxes Bingo Club for presenting us with a hugely generous donation of ยฃ500 towards our Walled Garden restoration crowdfunder ๐๐ฟ
The club, who meet at Fox Lane Sports Club, have raised funds through raffles, draws and community fundraising activities to support a variety of local good causes, and we feel incredibly grateful that they chose to support us.
Their donation, plus our plant sale over the weekend, has helped us cross the amazing ยฃ10,000 mark in our campaign- a massive milestone for the project ๐
Weโre now into the final push with just 5 days left on the crowdfunder. Every donation, share and conversation genuinely makes a difference as we work to bring this historic space back to life for the community.
Thank you again to everyone involved at Silver Foxes Bingo Club for believing in what weโre building together ๐ฑ

PLEASE SHARE ๐๐ป
Hey! ๐๐ป Im still on the look out for more local stockists of my art prints. I have had a good response so far but I will need your help and support to make this work.
I am now able to fully focus on all the art stuff and I know a few have been waiting for a while on your commissions. Thank you all for your understanding and patience.
I will have more news to come in the next few weeks which I am excited about. I've taken a chance going full time with my art and I would love to keep doing this for a very long time!
You are all amazing! โบ๏ธโบ๏ธโบ๏ธ

A little creative update from the Walled Garden ๐ฟ
Weโve created these flyers to help spread the word about what weโre building together at Worden Park - a space for community, wellbeing, growing, heritage and connection.
One small askโฆ
If you run a local business, cafรฉ, shop, salon, community venue or workplace noticeboard, would you be happy to pop a few flyers out for us? ๐
Every single conversation, scan, share and display genuinely helps us reach more people and bring new supporters into the project.
If youโd be happy to help, drop us a message and weโll get some flyers over to you ๐
