Growing together for Learning, Wellbeing and Community

Graven Hill is a new community — until now, we’ve had no shared space where people could come together. Our community centre is still years away, and many of us felt a strong need for a place where we could meet, work side by side, and build something real. We also firmly believe in the benefits of being outdoors, learning and working together. 

That’s how the idea for a community garden was born.

We were delighted when Matt Green, headteacher at Graven Hill Primary School, offered us this huge strip of land next to the school’s sports pitches to turn into a garden for the community.

A small group of residents made a plan. We reached out to the building companies on site — and were thrilled when DGK, who are constructing many of the homes in Graven Hill, stepped up to help us bring this project to life. They are helping us level the entire site and build the first two zones of the garden. We are very grateful for their support.
