Our New Garden

Here at Goring Library we're all very excited about our new garden project.
Do have a look below for our latest updates!

The hard landscaping is finished and we’re delighted with the finished garden. Kate has a nice new shed! Now we’re looking forward to Spring, when we can start planting and bring the space to life.

Now, for Spring!

Looking sharp! Now we just need the patience to wait for Spring ...

We're on the home stretch now, says Kate. A new side gate has arrived from Purdy Gates and the two new sheds are now up. Kate has already chosen the bigger one to use for all her boxes!

Water-result!

Library manager Kate Cheng says contractors from Summit Landscapes worked hard during the very wet day. But it was all worth it because now we have a raised bed and patio area and, oh, did we mention the new shed!

Our raised bed is coming along well! Also take a look at that patio coming together ...

Kate's new lair!

The garden project has been fund sourced by FOGL and project managed by Cyndy Ashton. Retired garden designer Amanda Heron drew up the plans with local input from various local gardening groups and individuals.

Bricks and water...

Despite the rather wet day, the builders have been back to work today building a brick wall at the front and creating a raised bed and a pushchair-friendly entrance for us all.
