Decision details

Community Growing Small Grant

Decision Maker: Communities Manager

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The aim of this decision is to fund the Dry Drayton community to establish and maintain a herb garden which will be established on Dry Drayton Parish Church grounds, featuring a bay tree alongside a variety of annual and perennial herbs. The group intends to encourage wider community involvement in growing and caring for these herbs. Dry Drayton currently lacks local amenities, and supermarket herbs are costly and often available only in small quantities. The group plans to make the produce freely accessible for village residents to collect, as well as to offer small herb packs at local coffee mornings and events. They will also distribute herbs to elderly and infirm residents upon request.
