On the move!
The Walled Garden Project is very pleased
to announce that it is moving to its new, permanent site at Coppice Green Lane, Shifnal - commencing operations in September 2007.

The site will consist of four workshops for indoor horticultural activities, together with six acres of prime agricultural land on which we can create some wonderful gardens - with an abundance of fruit, vegetables, flowers and shrubs for all to enjoy.

There will be basic toilet facilities and storage.


Watch this space!


Room to breathe...
