Nextdoor Nature: Community Gardening with Alive Activities

Abi Sweet, Community Gardens manager with Alive Activities tells us all about the amazing intergenerational, inclusive and accessible gardening group run at Barton Hill's Wellspring Settlement. Over the last couple of years Avon Wildlife Trust's Nextdoor Nature project has been supporting the group to realise some of their dreams, such as creating a wildlife pond, gorilla gardening and habitat building. We also hear from the powerful and inspiring group member Ruth, who tells us how much this work in the community means to her.
