Six hardy GoodGymers made their way to Rocky Gardens to help Margaret and Michael at the Hollybush Estate. Waterproofs and gloves were a must as we all battled the pretty beastly weather to scrape paths, plant numerous spider plants, sunflowers, nasturtiums and do some weeding.
This task supported
Hollybush's ‘Rocky’ Gardens and ‘Strawberry Fields’ orchard are now an established nature reserve with 79 growing spaces
The Hollybush and Teesdale Estate Urban Growers project began in April 2009 in Rocky Park – a disused children’s play area. Now enjoyed by the whole community, the area includes seats and communal herb beds for all to use.
