Pick up a leaflet in Sandford Community Shop and PO and
follow the beautifully enamelled way markers to enjoy all the
special features of the Green. These include a wildflower meadow,
willow structures and a herb and forest garden with many medicinal
plants, not to mention the cob shelter, built by members of the
group.
Sandford Millennium Green was opened in the year 2000, after
years of voluntary effort including some serious fund-raising. It
is kept as natural and bio-diverse as possible, within the limits
of a green space to be used by all the community. It is run as a
charitable trust by continued voluntary efforts, including more
fund-raising.
Some of the maintenance is carried out on a monthly basis on
Sunday and Tuesday mornings. Recent work mornings have included:
pruning in the orchard, coppicing hazel, seed sowing in the herb
garden and renovating willow structures. If you would like to be
informed of future work sessions, contact Linda Lever via the link
on this page, who will pass on your details to organisers.
