and live on Freeview channel 276
The Community Garden at Stobhill Link, Morpeth was created followng the demolition of garages five years ago with materials from the demoltion being reused to build accessible raised beds.
When making plans for the year ahead, volunteers have decided to move away from traditional planting and focus on planting to benefit wildlife, in particular pollinating insects including bees and butterflies. The garden is a valuable outdoor space at Stobhill Link: by planting for wildlife the Garden Club plan to create a beautiful and sensory environment for the charity's clubs, get togethers and the local community.
