Gardening Group News

After several years of pursuing the idea of a communal garden a small group of us have formed a registered charity, the Lowestoft North Cliff Community Garden (CIO), and raised enough money through grants to purchase a large 500 year old, now derelict and overgrown, garden on the North side of Crown score below Crown House.

The aims of the Charity are summed up as:

• Restoring ecosystems and biodiversity
• Encourage food self- sufficiency
• Reflect and preserve a part of Lowestoft's heritage by restoring one of its 'Hanging Gardens'

The project will create a new public open space where people can enjoy quiet recreation, gardening, food growing and contact with nature.

We are now looking for volunteers and members to join and help with this project. If you are keen to be involved then further information and contacts can be made Via the Mayfly cafe at 72 High street
