Cllr Sean Macleod is chair of the project in partnership with Denton Primary School, whose forest school was struggling for space.
He said: “The community garden will provide a great asset to the community. It will teach children and adults about biodiversity, and we will teach people what they can grow at home and in their own gardens helping with the cost-of-living crisis we face.

Cllr Macleod suggested the project, which will start building in October. The project has so far fundraised £50,000, including a Santa event at The Flying Fish in South Heighton.
It will take up to six weeks to complete and will partner with the Drove pond, improving biodiversity of the area, he says.
