Volunteers from Broadland, Aecom and Smiths of Honingham recently spent a day planting out the new communal garden at York Place, Dereham.
The garden was created along with 6 new flats and 2 bungalows for over-55s when the scheme was recently extended.
Last year residents helped to design the garden, requesting waist-high vegetable trugs for easy access, plenty of shade and places to sit, and wildlife-friendly flowers.
The volunteers swung into action and the results got a positive response all round:
“People are so pleased to have a nice outdoor space where they can sit and chat!”
“It was really rewarding to see how much the residents appreciated their new gardens”
