Rosshead garden once completeRosshead Gardens

This involved development of a new community park with a contemplation garden, family garden and events area. The completion of the gardens has created a stimulating community space which is enjoyed by a wide range of age groups. The gardens are now managed by the Rosshead Environment Group, the council and the Enviro squad.

 

During Ground Clearing

Designed to meet the needs of a wide range of the community the park has transformed three former tenement sites into an attractive resource for all to value and enjoy.
