Gardening scheme to 'bring back nature'

A new community garden project is being launched to "bring back nature" to nature-deprived spaces.

Friends of the Earth and The Co-operative Bank are working on a joint project covering about 1,000 spaces across the UK, including in Barton Hill, Bristol.

City residents are being invited to an afternoon picnic to mark the opening of Aiken Street Community Garden in Barton Hill on 22 May.

Gardener Harriet Wylie said the aim of the project is to create "wonderful havens" that benefit both nature and the local community.
