Past Projects
In 2010 the Leechwell Garden Association was awarded a £50,000 Community Spaces grant for a series of projects to enhance the newly-constructed garden. These were managed for the LGA by Jim Carfrae who coordinated the work of the various local artists, craftspeople and contractors.
The LGA has since carried out more projects funded by further grants and generous donations from the community.
