Winterton House Organic Garden

Ein toller Garten den die Bewohner des Hochhauses nicht mal wahrnehmen, geschweige denn benutzen obwohl für sie geschaffen. Gleich nebenan befinden sich die zum Garten gehörenden Gemüsegärten zur Nutzung. Wunderbar und unglaublich dieses Paradies befindet sich mitten im Eeast End und nur ein paar Minuten von der Smithy Street entfernt.

RHS Gold Award Garden! Over several years local residents Melvyn and Ken have created a prize-winning horticultural oasis from a rubbish dump.
Instead of putting their feet up, they fashioned a varied garden with a pergola, gravel planting, climbers and roses, mixed herbaceous border and a pond. The rare-breed chickens and ducks eat juicy snails from the garden, and a small allotment area enables residents to grow fruit and vegetables.
Are you wondering what to do in retirement? Come and be inspired by these imaginative gentlemen creating a haven for the residents of Winterton House and the local community.
