WE have a
restoration plan (described by the Nantwich Guardian as "ambitious") to
turn the land into a community garden catering for everyone - including
young and elderly, the disabled, and people with learning difficulties.
Schools and colleges would be encouraged to get involved in the design and
reconstruction of the garden to build a feeling of common ownership, and
specialised technical expertise from gardening societies and professionals
would be sought.
The
garden would be restored in four phases over four or five
years.
The
Walled Garden Society hopes to cover the basic recreation cost of £140,000
through sponsorship and by seeking a Heritage Lottery
grant.
Our
Chairman comments: "This could be a beautiful community asset for everyone
in Nantwich to enjoy. People come to Nantwich for its heritage and we
shouldn't just allow this to disappear for yet more
housing."
