Volunteer gardening outfit Sowing Sneinton have transformed four patches of tragic leftover land (see map) into a series of wonderful community gardens along Sneinton Road and Sneinton Dale, and picked up plenty of accolades and publicity for what they've achieved in a short space of time.

Today it was the turn of the Beaumont Street Garden to get a spruce up before winter- with Donya, Suzannah and volunteers getting stuck in. If you're interested, head over to the Sowing Sneinton Facebook page (Facebook account needed) or email sneintongardening@yahoo.co.uk.
