In January Wimborne Community Garden submitted a "Beautiful Borders" show garden design for a place in the BBC Gardeners World Spring Fair at Beaulieu in May this year....and we were chosen! The theme for the borders this year is "Once upon a time..." This is how we introduced our design:

"Once upon a time there was a blank patch of grass and a group of ordinary people with an extraordinary dream. Using the potion of teamwork and the spirit of community they made their dream come true. They created an abundant community garden where the gates were open to all and the burden of work was shared. A magical land where loneliness dissolved, friendship blossomed, where ‘old dogs’ realised that they could be taught new tricks and ‘young shoots’ learnt from their elders. It was a discovery they wanted to share, so they decided to show the world that magic could happen in the smallest of spaces. They suggest to you that the ‘happy ever after’ for their fairytale would be a garden in every community, small or large, where people come together despite their differences and find ‘common ground’. Would that be so very hard to believe?"

This is all very exciting and a big achievement. The garden's 'happy ever after' will be at the Colehill site of Beaucroft Foundation School so that the students and staff there have all the wellbeing benefits of their own miniature community garden. But we need the help of our wonderful Wimborne community to help us fund the build and make a great quality garden for Beaucroft. We know the students will love having a garden that has been on show at Gardener's World! The garden is all about the power of community and we would be so grateful if you could give any donation you are able to, so that we can make this fairytale a reality.
