Ryde Town Council is thrilled to announce an exciting new project aimed at providing a serene escape where residents can connect with nature, grow vegetables, and unwind.
The initiative involves cultivating a green space within the town to create a community garden.
Collaborative project
Working in collaboration with Riboleau Studios and Aspire Ryde our vision is to create not just a garden, but a hands-on learning experience for primary school children and their families, the project has gained enthusiastic support from various stakeholders.
Working closely with students from Ryde School, preparations for the garden’s spring launch are well underway, but there’s still plenty of work to be done.
Pearce: We welcome your participation
Alison Pearce, Community Development Officer said,
“Our goal is to create a space that fosters community engagement, promotes sustainable living, and provides educational opportunities for all.
“Your enthusiasm and willingness to contribute are all that’s needed to make this project a success.
“Whether you’re passionate about gardening or simply eager to lend a hand, we welcome your participation.”
