Garden Share GS037South of Chester Road /Colville Road junction
The plot is in part of the owner’s garden – it is in a great position, south-facing and adjacent to a fence providing a well-protected growing area, next to a tarmac drive. Size is approx. 3m x 14 metres. Prior to it being offered for GardenShare, the owner has grown fruit/veg on this plot for over twenty years; carefully nurturing the soil, and has developed a mature and nutrient-rich composting system. Currently, the plot is effectively one bed, divided into several sections; one section is clear (empty) and would need just minor weeding to get it ready for planting. Another section has fruit bushes (blackcurrant/raspberry) some of which have been in place for a few years and are still very productive but could benefit from being replaced with new ones. Further along, another section has lots of productive strawberry plants. A couple of larger bushes adjoining the fence ideally need cutting back to free up more growing space. The soil is very good quality peat. There is a greenhouse - approx. size 8 feet by 12 feet. Inside there is full length shelving on one side and a soil bed on the other. Lots of space for storing tools and stuff. A vine plant is currently producing plenty of grapes! There are several water tubs on site (all full!) and a mains tap should they run out of water. Access to the plot is via the front drive and onsite parking is available – there are no steps to negotiate.
As a readymade GardenShare, very little effort would be needed to get
this plot up and running.
