TARA COMMUNITY GARDEN

THE TARA COMMUNITY GARDEN TRANSFORMS A FORMER DERELICT PLOT OF LAND ADJOINING TARA ARTS INTO AN ACCESSIBLE INTIMATE OUTDOOR SPACE FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. OUR GARDEN IS A UNIQUE NEW LOCAL AMENITY THAT WILL BE DEVISED BY A DIVERSE COHORT OF LOCAL VOLUNTEERS. THE GARDEN COMPLEMENTS THE WIDER PROJECT OF RENOVATION OF OUR THEATRE TO CREATE A NEW UK CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE FOR SMALL-SCALE BLACK, ASIAN AND MINORITY ETHNIC (BAME) THEATRE. THE IDEA FOR A LOCAL COMMUNITY GARDEN WAS INSPIRED BY GARRATT LANE LOCALS, WHERE THERE IS A LACK OF GREEN SPACES, WITH RELATIVELY FEW OPPORTUNITIES TO ESCAPE FROM THE LOCAL TRAFFIC NOISE AND RELAX IN COMFORTABLE AND SAFE SURROUNDINGS.
