A new community garden to encourage youngsters to grow healthy food was opened in Burnham-On-Sea on Tuesday (May 28th) by the town’s Mayor and Mayoress.
A disused area of land at the rear of the Burnham Area Youth Centre in Cassis Close has been transformed into the new facilities by members of Burnham Dreamscheme.
“After nearly two years in the planning, work began in January and we are delighted that the garden has now been completed and has been opened,” Dreamscheme leader John Alexander told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
The garden was officially opened by Mayor and Mayoress Martin and Arlene Cox, watched by supporters and youngsters, as pictured here.
