A neglected piece of
wasteland in the heart
of a community in north
Bolton was transformed
into a thriving garden.
The Bradshaw Community Garden was developed from
wasteland into a green community resource. The
project has seen food growing as a catalyst for local
community benefit and environmental improvement.
More than 15 different types of vegetables were
harvested in less than 6 months, many that people had
never seen or heard of before. The community garden
encouraged families to work together and the space has
become somewhere to meet, and relax and grow food.
The group have made links with the local school
offering use the site for outdoor education.
The site has become a social space for the community
to come together to share, socialise and learn. The
resourcefulness of the local residents was seen through
their sourcing of essential materials for the site and using
local recycling networks.
