| "Our project is less than a year old. In May we launched with a party which included food using early produce and games for the kids (also attended by our local councillor). On the 12 June management was handed over to 'Myddleton Growers' a committee of plot holders on the estate. By July the plots looked fantastic with a mixture of vegetables and flowers. The first committee meeting agreed that we'd learnt a lot: growth had been great, we'd got to know each other and shared ideas; the spacewas respected by local kids who had previously hung out there. However some had planted too much; we had a problem with foxes and our worms did not survive! The compost area could also be maintained better. Further tool storage and a cold frame would also be useful. Our challenge is to keep the momentum going, keep everyone on board and involve as much of the estate as possible."

"This is the first project since the estate was built that has brought all 4 corners of the community together. members of the groups have also been networking with other local projects, The Castle and attending Capital growth workshops."
