Prayer quiet space created at St Richards Church Community Garden on 20th July 2024
The final phase of the community garden was realised with the support from Growing Hollingdean Volunteers and the community at St Richards. All ages turned up to help plant a circle of lavender around the new sweet chestnut bench and arch.
We also planted an olive, a lilac, a climbing rose and a fig tree which meant digging a huge hole to create a paving slab pot deep in the ground to contain its roots and encourage good fruiting.
We also harvested a lot of potatoes that will be shared through the Food Bank.
Please come and enjoy the space for a quiet picnic or unwind with sunset views while enjoying the relaxing smell of lavender with a wider backdrop of wildflowers and pollinators and visiting birds.
