The Kincumber Community Eco-Garden has had a major facelift thanks to the hard work of the Kincumber Men’s Shed and the Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre.
After the Neighbourhood Centre requested help, the Men’s Shed scoped and designed the project, while Centre co-ordinator Aliyah Beckwith organised the purchase and delivery of materials.
A team of volunteers from the Shed then rolled up their sleeves and, within a week, had transformed the site.
The revamp included removing and rebuilding the existing garden beds, adding two new raised beds, building a potting shelter, and installing new compost bins.
The partnership reflects the missions of both organisations, the Neighbourhood Centre’s commitment to being a welcoming hub that reduces social and financial disadvantage, and the Men’s Shed’s focus on improving men’s mental health through hands-on projects and community outreach.
Now complete, the eco-garden is already buzzing with activity, as local gardeners take advantage of the improved facilities.
The project shows what can be achieved when community groups join forces for a common cause.
