The garden is already attracting wildlife, with bumblebees and butterflies on the flowers and birds on the lawn and in the trees.The Grapes Hill Community Garden Group planted up the garden and now look after it, with gardening tasks every fortnight during the summer, on Thursday evenings (6 - 8pm). The next evening task is on Thursday 7th July and all are welcome regardless of gardening experience. Jeremy Bartlett, a Norfolk Master Gardener, who has overseen the planting plan can advise people on how to get going and help identify weeds and wildlife. The Group currently looks after the deep beds but from next year we will lease them out to local people and groups to grow their own vegetables. | The garden is already attracting wildlife, with bumblebees and butterflies on the flowers and birds on the lawn and in the trees.The Grapes Hill Community Garden Group planted up the garden and now look after it, with gardening tasks every fortnight during the summer, on Thursday evenings (6 - 8pm).
