GRANT AWARDED - Halton Gardening Group
The 3R Foundation recently awarded £500 to Halton Gardening Group for gardening tools and equipment. The group who were awarded the King's Award for Voluntary Service in November 2023 are volunteer community gardeners who maintain community planting projects within the village. to edit.
They promote interest and participation in gardening and have built a social network among the local gardening community with Village Community Gardening Days, planting over 700 bulbs in Autumn 2023. They have numerous projects that involve clearing grass, planting hundreds of plug plants, and seeding, and are also partners with Halton with Aughton Heritage Group, who are hoping to open up the Motte and Bailey site in the village, and have agreed they will take responsibility for seeding the field there when the time comes.
However, they found that many of the people who came to join them did not have their own appropriate equipment, so they approached us to help build up a 'library' of gardening tools and equipment which can be used by these volunteers. We were very happy to help and the results are stunning.
