About the project

PROJECT TITLE: St Gabriel’s Community Garden

LOCATION: Tameside

FUNDING: Awarded £15,000 in Round Four of the Greater Manchester Green Spaces Fund

DELIVERED BY: St Gabriel's Community Group

The idea

To transform an unused, neglected patch of grass and weeds into a multi-use garden in which the whole community, whatever their age, ability, race or gender can engage with the natural world.

 St Gabriel's Community Group aim to increase awareness of biodiversity issues and enhance ecological resilience in the local area.

This new garden project focuses on accessibility, introducing raised beds to facilitate food growing for people with disabilities, path improvements to aid safe routes for people with low mobility, a multi-use welcome garden and a patio area where everybody can sit among nature, socialise and learn how to care for the natural world.
