Ivy Road Community Project
About the project
PROJECT TITLE: Ivy Road Community Project
LOCATION: Bolton
FUNDING: Awarded £32,798 in Round Four of the Greater Manchester Green Spaces Fund
DELIVERED BY: Harpers Lane Community Garden
The idea
The project on Ivy Road in Bolton will transform plain grass verges on either side of the street into a thriving green hub, as the diverse local community are largely without access to gardens or growing space.
On one side of the site the group will develop a woodland glade and install a roadside bench for resting and meeting friends.
On the opposite side of the road they will establish a Forest Garden with accessible paths, install raised grow beds, and create a safe play area.
Everybody is welcome to use the site at all times and all produce grown there will be free.
