About the Business
Please feel free to pick herbs and fruit from the garden, taking just a small share and leaving some more for other people and wildlife. Make sure you can identify everything you pick, as not everything in the garden is edible - and some plants e.g. We are growing organic fruit, vegetables and herbs and ornamental shrubs and flowers to make the garden attractive to people and wildlife. The abundant plant life should also improve the poor air quality in the area. Grapes Hill Community Garden Group (GHCGG) was set up in summer 2008 to convert a run-down disused area near Norwich city centre into a community garden.
Our site, a 50 metre by 12 metre former play area, was covered in tarmac. We consulted the local community on the design of the garden and following the completion of hard landscaping work in late 2010 we held a series of work days in spring 2011 to plant up the garden. We are renting our nine raised beds to members of the local community for growing vegetables.
