Dear Friends 



I'm excited to share the details of The Orchard, a new community garden project in the B16 area, which brings together the residents of Ladywood and Edgbaston. This garden will not only beautify the area but also foster a sense of connection and sustainability among our communities.


Made possible by local volunteers, donations from crime prevention initiatives, and the dedicated efforts of Chris Hoare and the Birmingham South West Group, The Orchard aims to transform unused spaces into vibrant, community-driven gardens.


This project will provide an opportunity for people to grow their own food, learn new skills, and engage with neighbours in meaningful ways. It’s an important step toward creating safer, greener neighbourhood's for the future.


Were calling on more volunteers to join us in making The Orchard a success. Whether you have gardening experience or just a little time to spare, your help will make a difference. Together, we can create something truly special.


Thank you for your support!


Best regards,

Steve Kelly
