North Kessock community transform ‘overgrown’ area into new sensory garden
A NORTH Kessock community have transformed what was previously an “unattractive and overgrown area” into a well-loved space.
With the help of locals, Knockbain Community Council have managed to transform the area near Charlestin in North Kessock, on the coast of the Beauly Firth, now known as Torgorm Community Project. The project has seen the area into an attractive picnic spot that is well-used by people from far and wide, as well as the new sensory garden.
A spokesperson for Knockbain Community Council said: “This transformation has been a long time in the making and has been done almost entirely by volunteers.
“We were conscious that a number of the visitors have sensory issues and therefore thought it a good idea to have a sensory garden. The garden took quite some time to complete, but thanks to dedication of a few it was formally opened on Saturday May 10, by Sylvia Bertram MBE and John Stott Chair of Knockbain Community Council.
“We would appeal to the local community to assist in maintaining the area as we are a very small team. We thank most sincerely those who have assisted thus far but would welcome more assistance.”
