Finally we end our journey at the Scented Courtyard, a quiet part of the Gardens. Many colourful flowers and herbs grow here, as well as a number of fragrant climbing roses. It is also a popular place for local schools to bring a class of children to plant spring bulbs such as crocus, narcissus, and grape hyacinths – and get muddy hands as they learn about gardening!

As we take a seat by the fountain, we might consider how far our four acres of wasteland has come since 1976, and how many people over the years have contributed to its transformation. It is the appreciation and involvement of the local community that gives the Gardens its energy and its reason to be.

The above text is to be updated once the MGCA Virtual Walk pages are finished. Thank you for your patience!
