About this park/green space

The Townsend Community Garden has been developed by and involves a big part of the community through the action group, the Townsend Together Team. During the transformation, a true community spirit transpired and although the work was hard, everybody had fun creating the garden. The garden was officially opened in August 2006. Since then, the on-going maintenance of the garden is on the whole carried out by local residents; one particularly dedicated resident who is continually working in the garden is Dave Shepphard. His motivation and hard work makes the garden look lovely all year round. Well done to everyone involved in keeping the garden looking so special.
