Growing Focal is a small community garden where we grow fruit, vegetables, flowers for local people to enjoy. We encourage local people to come on Wednesday afternoon during the growing season to help plant out seedlings, bulbs and plants and to help with encouraging them to grow and maintaining the raised beds. We have a small greenhouse to protect the plants and nurture growth. We aspire to enthuse and encourage people to grow in their homes and gardens and bring pleasure to those who walk by. We also have volunteers that are part of Blooming Lindley and Marsh, where we tidy up and plant bulbs and flowers into the planters in Marsh and Lindley approximately 4 times a year.

Oak Primary School
At Oak Primary School in Crosland Moor we have just started a gardening club for children in key stage two. We meet once a week after school and spend an hour working in the school garden. Unfortunately, the garden has been neglected for many years and is overgrown and untidy. We have spent the last few weeks clearing the site with our hand and a few tools that teachers have brought in from home. The children are really excited about transforming the space over the coming seasons with plants, flowers and vegetables. We would really appreciate the opportunity to borrow some tools from the Beaumont Park tool store so that we can really get started on improving the garden.
