Much work has been taking place in the Fontmell Garden over lockdown. Volunteers have been working hard, turning the garden behind the surgery in Fontmell Magna into a flower garden as a green prescription for the community.
The garden signs have been completed, and a collection of beautiful, painted plant signs have been created and members of the craft club have been busy sewing and crocheting bunting.
And while the seeds and seedlings are growing, so too are funds as the project received £567 from the Tesco Groundworks Programme for raised troughs, compost and two Captain Tom roses. Resident Joy Murphy is sponsoring a tree for the garden in memory of her late husband Patrick.
Volunteers are needed for Saturday, April 24 between 10am and 1pm to plant buddleia donated by Judy Westgate, assemble and fill three troughs under the trees for the under-fives to plant out and fill troughs outside the village hall with compost.
