A newW food growing project has been unveiled.
Brighton and Hove City Council is proposing to lease a site behind houses on Heath Hill Avenue, Bevendean, to the local community group for a food growing project. The site is currently common ground which is undeveloped.
Bevendean Community Garden, in partnership with Novas Scarman and Harvest - the city’s food-growing initiative - plans to use the land to grow organic food for the benefit of the local community.
Council leader Mary Mears said: “This gives the local community a project for people of all ages, helping to educate our children in the rewards of growing your own healthy and cheap food.”
A public consultation is being held on March 28 between 2pm to 3.30pm at Holy Nativity Church Hall in Norwich Drive, Bevendean. For more information on the project visit bevendeancommunitygarden.blogspot.com.
