Holywood Community Garden Has Potential To Transform Derelict Area
A proposed community garden in the Hill Street Mews area of Holywood has the potential to transform the derelict area, a Green Party councillor has said.
Local representative Rachel Woods has been working with the Housing Executive to transform the area into a space to grow fruit and vegetables and has encouraged anyone to get involved to contact her.
Cllr Woods said: "I have spoken with residents and many are excited about getting involved in the community garden project.
"It will give people a chance to get out into the fresh air, get a bit of light exercise in gardening and enjoy a bit of a chat with their neighbours.
"I have been working with the Housing Executive to try and secure funding for the garden and gain permission to use the land.
"My vision is that this time next year, people in Hill Street Mews and beyond will be enjoying the garden, tending to plants, fruit and vegetables and spending time with their neighbours.
"If you like to be involved in the community garden project please give me a shout."
