The Yatton House Community Garden Project is an exciting new initiative taking shape on an allotment opposite Yatton House in Great Ayton.
The garden will be managed by Yatton House and its Members and is supported by Brighten Up Great Ayton, Great Ayton Parish Council and representatives of local Rotary Club groups and with thanks to the Margaret Mawston Environmental Trust and Rotary groups the project can start being developed.
The concept behind developing the garden includes the following:
• Provide a safe and accessible community garden and space for groups and individuals.
• Provide a space which is fully inclusive by ensuring accessibility and safety are central to the design.
• Bring different sections of the community together.
• Promote awareness of mental health and loneliness.
• Champion environmental impact and climate change through wildlife, biodiversity, and the growing of sustainable organic fresh fruit and vegetables.
• Deliver educational experiences.
