Meadows Community Gardens Future Plans 2021

Meadows Community Gardens Future Plans

We are busy planning future project work for The Meadows Community Gardens and compiling funding bids based on what we have learnt - looking at how we can best contribute to our community.

For this we need your input; we are asking as many partners and local residents as possible to give feedback. This will then help us to:

Further understand our community and its needs.

To write a new bid for the next 5 years.

Build partnerships and links.

Learn what The Gardens contribute locally and if it’s work is feasible.

Please take a little time to answer these questions using your experience of the local area and The Gardens, we don’t need lots of words, bullet points are fine if you are short on time.

Submit your answers to us by March 1st and there's a possibility to be entered into our prize draw to win some of our wonderful organic produce.

Many thanks for taking the time to respond.
