Welcome to our garden
About our Group
Grapes Hill Community Garden Group (GHCGG) was set up in the summer of 2008.
We are planning to convert a run-down disused area near Norwich city centre into a community garden. Our site, a former play area, is currently covered in tarmac.
Once up and running we hope to be able to grow a variety of organic vegetables to supply our community and improve the poor air quality in the area by planting trees, shrubs and flowers.
We are involving the local community in the design of the garden.
Norwich Eco Awards
Grapes Hill Community Garden has won a 2010 Norwich EcoAward, in the category of Eco Community Group.
The award ceremony took place on Thursday 25th February 2010 at City Hall in Norwich.
The award was presented by the Sheriff of Norwich, Professor Tim O'Riordan.
Members of the group attended the ceremony.
