ORGANISERS hope plans for a community garden will grow on residents.
Dick Emms, green sustainable projects officer with local environment watchdog Middlesbrough Environment City, yesterday planted the last rose to complete a horseshoe-shaped rose garden in Ayresome Gardens, central Middlesbrough.
The Friends of Ayresome Gardens has been instrumental in a transformation of the area which has included relocation of the play area, the extension of school grounds, installation of secure fencing and new gates, a ball court, footpaths and planting.
It aims to make the Ayresome Gardens space more attractive for the people of the Gresham ward, a tight grid pattern of terraced streets, and run a regular programme of events.
Future projects include better lighting and the installation of a bandstand or gazebo.
