Halswell
Halswell Community Garden
About
We have a food forest, fruit trees, a walnut tree, heaps of currants, gooseberries and some new raspberry bushes. Not to mention, we also grow vegetables. Our goal is simple - to feed our families. Any extra food we have, we share with the community and the Parish, who own the land where our garden is.
