We have started to ask local people – both those who have been to Caldmore Community Garden and those who haven’t yet – for their ideas for what they would like to see in the Garden. We have run creative consultation activities at our Indian Circus Day and will continue to engage our visitors and neighbours in the process – both online and offline.

Help us make the Garden – and the surrounding neighbourhood – a better place for everyone. You can do by filling in this survey, telling us your thoughts and ideas and sharing it with your friend and family.
