Corsham Climate Action have created the Corsham Community Garden at the Pound Arts Centre with funding from Corsham Area Board, Corsham Town Council, and Corsham Co-op, and working in partnership with the Pounds Art Centre.
The objective of the community garden is to create a space where the community can come together in a creative, educational environment, reconnecting with the land and production of food in a safe and well managed context.
The garden aims to:
- Promote healthy food by growing organic fruit and vegetables, mainly for use in the Pound café but also elsewhere in the community
- Provide an environment conducive to having fun, learning and sharing
- Reconnect the community to the land
- Provide a focus for combating loneliness and isolation, by providing a facility for selected community groups to attend and engage in community gardening activities
- Promote environmentally friendly gardening and growing practices.
