Community garden gets green light in Northamptonshire village

A new homes development in Moulton will have a community garden installed for its residents after a gardening club scheme was given the green light by planners.

Mulberry Homes' has developed the private gardening club concept to be rolled out at a selection of developments including Meadow View Fields.

The club encourages residents to come together, learn new skills, and enjoy the outdoors while growing a productive garden.

Whether its tending to fresh produce, watching local wildlife or simply relaxing with neighbours, the club says there is something on offer for everyone.

Kerry Jones, sales director at Mulberry Homes, said: “At Mulberry Homes, we are committed to introducing sustainable, ethical and community-centred practises into our core values at every opportunity.

“Our private gardening club concept encourages the growth of community spirit, which we believe promotes positivity and adds to the community’s sense of wellbeing; something close to our hearts.”

The garden will be completed towards spring and summer next year when home owners will be able to choose to be part of the club and become custodians of the landscaped space along with some basic equipment, planters and a shed, which will help to get the club up and running.
