HARGRAVE HALL GARDEN PROJECT
Follow our journey turning our exterior into a green space for all
Progress of the garden at Hargarve Hall
May 2021
A BIG thank you to Borchards Landscapers for laying our lawn.
It took some work digging up the old play equipment foundations, leveling up the entire area, relocating the bark, laying sleepers, adding soil, and then returfing but we think it looks fab!
Roll on the next steps sorting out the boundaries!
It’s only been down a few weeks but the grass is looking lush!
Our new lawn has been laid!
Doesn’t it look great! We will be watering it regularly until its roots have grown, then we’ll be allowing a limited number of daytime only bookings over the summer, subject to government guidelines.
If you’re interested in hiring this space email us at info@hargravehall.co.uk
We have repurposed our old sleepers into flower bed borders!

Moving forward – removal of footings
Many years ago, the rear garden was used by a wonderful nursery that filled the exterior with outdoor play equipment. Sadly, after they left the footings remained which meant an uneven surface and created trip hazards everywhere! The landscapers have now started removing these to ensure the ground can be levelled and safe for all.
The landscaping has begun in the rear garden!
So far all the bark and sleepers have been removed and what a difference this has made.

Garden Update!
Our garden project was halted due to the COVID19 pandemic and after a few months the ivy took over! With the help of some energetic volunteers, and following the appropriate social distancing guidelines we’ve cleared it all away.
We hope to start the garden project soon turning this wasteland into the community garden it deserves to be.
Our rear garden being used as a messy play zone!
Spring 2019
This year we will be focusing on turning our currently unused garden area into a space for all.
This page will track our progress and announce opportunities for the community to get involved.
Clearing the weeds
We’ve dug out all the weeds and covered the area until we can put in some new shrubs!
Hargrave Hall Garden will be available for daytime only private hire from Spring 2021!
