What to Expect
The community garden is at the very end of Limes Close, where there is parking if you need it. The entrance is clearly signed. You'll find an acre of space to enjoy, which includes a woodland area, some raised beds and a choice of places to sit. The designated 'Toad Hall' pond habitat is fenced off to protect the plants and wildlife and also to keep young children safe.
The entrance way is wide and there is a surfaced path around the site plus no steps, making it fairly accessible, although parts of the site are uneven (as part of the re-wilding approach) and therefore those with restricted mobility should take care if leaving the path.
More Information
