DEVELOPMENT OF THE GARDEN | |||||||||||||||

In February 2008 The District Allotments Federation kindly donated 5 allotments (1200sq ms) at their Gibson Lane Kippax site, for the use of this project for the next 25+ years. The intention is to build a garden that will accommodate persons with special needs and where necessary their carers.
