West Garden Project Continues.

The West Garden project continues.The area is now graveled and the brick cold frames are in place. The posts for the fencing are in place and the gate with the badger door is in place at the bottom of the cobbled path. Over the next few months we plan to get the chain for the fence in place, one of the volunteers is going to build the covers for the cold frames and paint the new picket fence. The graveled areas will house potting tables for engagement with visitors with seed sowing and potting on in the spring and work with school groups. The plant sales will also move to the West Garden next year. This area will continue to be developed into a working area - which links back to this area of the garden's historical roots and uses.

The lovely iron gate made by Matthew West and generously donated by Cynthia (a previous volunteer at Chastleton who loves the garden). The opening at the bottom is to allow the badgers to come and go on the same route they have used for centuries. 

A huge thank you to all the great work from Keith, Kenny, Martin and Matthew.
