Makeover for community garden

A new garden is blooming after The Salvation Army in Winton joined forces with a local business and a charity-run nursery for a garden makeover this week.The church and charity’s garden in Latimer Road was transformed thanks to Cherry Tree Nursery, which provides voluntary work for people suffering from mental illness, and the Bournemouth office of insolvency practitioners Antony Batty and Company.

Cherry Tree Nursery designed planting to suit the soil in the garden, while Antony Batty donated a van load of plants and accessories with a team of six staff members from the Bournemouth and Salisbury offices helping to plant them.
​
The initiative, which took place on Tuesday and has been supported by Sir Conor Burns MP for Bournemouth West, came to fruition after Tina Shave, Salvation Army centre manager spoke to Maria Tidy, community liaison officer at Cherry Tree, about how the garden could be enhanced.
