National Lottery Heritage Fund
We are proud to announce that we have been awarded nearly £200,000 for our two-year project "From roots to shoots and bricks to candlesticks - showcasing heritage learning experiences within a Victorian walled garden setting."
It is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to the National Lottery players, we will be able to continue our transformation of an 1850s walled kitchen garden, formerly part of the Grade II listed Wood Hall estate, that was neglected since the 1960s.
Through this project, we will use this unusual and unique setting to showcase heritage learning experiences and help to reconnect local people to the heritage of their walled garden, traditional skills/crafts, the land and nature in an environmentally conscious way.
We have our Heritage Project Launch Event on the 21st September, please book tickets in advance. If you're unable to book a ticket but would like to join us, contact Tanya on 07941 796370, email tanya@livingpotentialcarefarming.org.uk.
