We are currently in the process of gathering information from local groups, services and groups to direct residents.

Tadpole Garden Village Gardening Club (TGV GC) is a group of willing volunteers that have been engaged in a range of community projects since their inception over five years ago. As well as brightening up the TGV area with planters, hanging baskets and seasonal planting displays the group have also conducted several charitable and community-based projects, such as helping to install a wellbeing garden at Great Western Hospital and building a thankful village memorial in TGV.

Recently, the group has also taken on a few volunteer projects to assist local residents with tackling gardens and community areas that have become overgrown, restoring them to a more manageable state for onward maintenance by the residents themselves.

Should you know of someone who could benefit from this group’s assistance then please get in touch. They will obviously attempt to assist, but please remember they are volunteers and are thus limited on time and resources that they can spend on a project. Any request will be assessed as to whether the group would be able to tackle the issue, or whether it needs resources greater than they can provide. That said, usually a morning or afternoon is sufficient to resolve a small problem area. Please contact stuartolden@btinternet.com to find out more.
