St Blazey Community Garden Project

Our AIM is to:
Come together to help residents of all ages, back rounds and abilities of St Blazey to transform derelict private gardens into communal spaces for growing, meeting, celebrating and relaxing in the heart of the estate.

We are inviting all residents of St Blazey to join groups, bring plants on in their own homes, do out reach and liaison work to other residents, build and construct the gardens and most of all get to know and enjoy the estate in a new light.

We are a local residents association lead by residents for residents. We have organised some outside support for MH sufferers and for disabled users, and would love to hear from anyone wanting to be involved. We have linked with the youth centre to offer interesting workshops and groups for children and young people.
