In the heart of Spondon’s village centre is the Sensory Garden - a fantastic spot full of fantastic flowers and wildlife.
The Neighbourhood Board continue to try and improve our environment and you will be able to see its latest project in the garden.
The Board has funded and commissioned Andrew Frost to produce a wildlife carving on the Yew tree that was dying and has now been reduced in height at the rear of the Sensory garden on Chapel Street.
The aim is to provide a point of interest that will attract and inspire all generations. It can be viewed as creative and educational, illustrating the food chain with animals, birds and plants.
The idea for the carving is based on a 'wildlife tree'. It is filled with 'windows' containing animal faces balanced at the bottom of the trunk with a 'friendly' green man face.
The Gardens are well worth a visit and are a lovely location to visit, relax and contemplate - and you can now enjoy the new addition to garden too.
