Hollingdean Celebration at Hollingdean Community Centre
As part of the Hollingdean Celebration this Saturday, you can meet Mel in the garden, where she will be giving guided tours of the Two Tree Community Garden tours at 12 noon and 2pm.
Growing Hollingdean volunteers will also be inside the Community Centre with an information stall, ready to answer your questions about growing on our estate.
Two Trees Community Garden on Tavistock Down already had an old bath in the garden. Will from Froglife, Mel and Growing Hollingdean volunteers levelled the bath then scooped out the water, full of life, and put it to one side.

They lined the bath with a pond liner and hessian, added lots of large gravel and then top soil on top before planting the bog plants. Finally they replaced the water, teeming with wildlife, back into the bath. All the equipment, materials and additional ‘know how’ supplied by Froglife. Thank you so much to Will and the team.
If you would like join Mel for gardening at Two Tree Community Garden, her on 07543201670 or tdcommunitygarden@gmail.com or see the Facebook page.

Tavistock Down community garden was designed in 2014 to create a space where people in the community could come and spend time together or alone.
The planting around the garden has been done in a way that people are welcome to stroll through and pick fruits and veg as they please. Any larger amounts of crops have always been passed on to the local Bright Store project or food bank to supplement peoples diets with healthy organic fruits and veg.
We are currently very much in need of more people to be involved so the garden community can grow and support more people. Volunteers of all abilities and backgrounds are welcome to help maintain the garden every 3rd Monday of the month between 3-5pm.Contact Mel on 07543201670 or tdcommunitygarden@gmail.com to let her know you will be attending and meet the locals. See the Facebook page.
