Patchwork perfect

20 January 2012

Volunteers with their work

The Coleraine Conservation Action Team have made the best of the fine January weather to deliver an allotment project for the charity 'Patchwork' at a site near Portrush.

The charity will use the garden as a haven for those rehabilitating from drug and alcohol misuse.

The team has constructed  a series of raised beds both outdoors and inside the two polytunnels with pathways designed to be accessible for all users of the facility.

A substantial hen run has also been erected.

It is hoped that the site can be further enhanced in the coming months to include a potting shed and an outdoor social space for barbeques and fine dining with fresh produce direct from the garden!
