Supporting a New Community Garden

A site behind Victoria Road has been identified for the establishment of a new Community Garden. The initiative is being led by the Emsworth Residents Forum (ERF) with core funding from Havant Borough Council.

The EHS committee has been supporting in the planning stages and the project is now approaching implementation.

The site will provide a community garden featuring a small orchard, vegetable and soft fruit beds, plus some raised beds providing easier access for people with disabilities. This initiative is about the community coming together to grow and share the produce, but most of all to spend time together in the outdoors.
The plan will also involve local schools, giving them a place they can have hands on experience of growing their own food crops and learning about food sources.

If you would be interested in; helping to clear and establish the site; have any tools you could donate; or have any seeds or seedlings you can donate please contact info@emshs.org.uk
