A community gardening project which began in 2011 in a wild meadow at St Mark’s Church in Mansfield has culminated in an ‘outstanding’ award from the Royal Horticultural Society.
The Green and Wild Group were presented with the award in the East Midlands in Bloom ‘It’s Your Neighbourhood’ competition for the fourth time, and they can be seen here proudly displaying it, with vicar, the Revd James Curry.

Hot off the press …………………
Green and Wild, St Mark’s Community gardeners, have received another Level 5 ‘Outstanding’ award at the Royal Horticultural Society’s East Midlands in Bloom ‘It’s Your Neighbourhood’ presentation in Newark. The judges have been very impressed this year with the way we’ve involved children and young people in our garden project.
It was suggested that having now achieved this level for four years in a row we could be up for a special nomination if we surpass ourselves next year.
Well done everyone! All hands to the spade!
