Burton Joyce Community Garden

The projects aims to deliver a partially covered outdoor space, community garden, meeting place and performance area for locally-led events and fayres.
The project will include the installation of an 8.5 x 8.5m wood and polycarbonate canopy to cover an exiting plinth. The plinth is to be re-surfaced in a resin bonded gravel to match newly installed, resin bound gravel, curved pathways, installed to ensure the whole garden is accessible to all. The canopy will be a key feature of the garden and will provide shelter or shade for community events and for casual daily use by residents and visitors alike.
A newly planted and landscaped garden will be bordered with permanent curved wooden benches to maintain the natural theme, which will provide additional seating for events as well as allowing for causal daily use, with a further round bench encircling an existing tree and a straight bench installed on an existing brick flower bed.
A large pergola will be installed in the rear corner of the site to provide an additional sheltered area of the garden and provide aesthetic balance to the canopy.
Cinep lighting for evening use will be installed under the curved benches to provide ambient lighting for evening events, with the installation of functional lighting on the outside of the building for safety and set up / take down of events.
