The Cedric Morris Gardens were a legacy from the Festival of Gardening and Art in 2017. The Market Place Gardens and planters followed.
We normally meet on Mondays 10.00am – 12.00pm beside the Map board Magdalen Road.

Comprising of the Cedric Morris and Market Place
Gardens
The legacy from the Festival of Gardening and Art in 2017 resulted in the creation of the Cedric Morris Gardens in
Magdalen Road.
Planting had to take into consideration low maintenance for the small team of volunteer gardeners. A range of herbs created the undulating spread of the borders, with the addition of cottage garden favourites. The popular wild flower meadow is a reminder that Cedric Morris enjoyed propagating from the
wild.
The legacy also enabled the addition of railings and slate signs, marking and acknowledging Cedric Morris and the Community Gardeners. The signature irises beds were re-designed last year with stylish planters and have the provision of an interpretation board.
The Long border on the Market place is planted with a wide variety of shrubs and plants. The circular bed within the Market Place benches has spring bulbs and long flowering geraniums making a focal point for those who rest or those meeting up for coffee on Market Day.
