I want the Shap Gardening Club to be a community led club and to take part in garden based events, visits and other garden stuff throughout the year.
But given the long Winter that Shap usually has. Then this could be a time for indoor talks and presentations, with the Spring, Summer & Autumn months given over to the time to do outdoor based events.
I am hoping to get the villages gardens included in the Royal Horticultural Society National Garden Scheme and similar events. This would be subjective to being in full agreement from the village community to do so.
I also think a community based garden would be fantastic for Shap. I am interested in creating a community based garden for the village and I am looking into any current funding and grants which may be available for me to do this.
You will have all seen the "Love Your Garden" series on the TV, in which Alan and his team create fantastic garden spaces for people who most need them. I would love to set up such a scheme for local people in Cumbria.
