GREEN-FINGERED Stoke residents have brought colour to their community by creating a shared garden.
The gardeners have transformed an unused overgrown space into a welcoming area for local people and their families to enjoy.
Now that summer is in full swing, flowers are in bloom and fruits and vegetables are thriving, the Plymouth Community Homes (PCH) residents are taking advantage of the drier and warmer weather to spend more time enjoying the new space.
The community garden, located in Wingfield Road, is a very active project run solely by volunteers. There are many visitors to the garden who contribute both physically and financially, and enjoy spending time there.
It is run by members of the local community, including two key individuals and residents, Andy and Janet, who have lived in the area for a number of years. The pair have been instrumental in making the garden what it is today, both visiting in their spare time, which has helped them to cope with the struggles they face in their lives.
