UK: Cutteslowe Park greenhouse open again after restoration

Greenhouses that stood derelict for decades in Cutteslowe Park are bursting with life again after a loving restoration.

The former council buildings have been reopened to the public as a not-for-profit garden centre thanks to investment by the charity People in Action.

This includes a vast 60m by 26m plant nursery – once littered with debris and weeds – now filled with a vibrant mix of flowers, vegetables and herbs.

Under its new name, the Cutteslowe Nursery and Garden Centre, it will offer horticultural therapy for people with disabilities and learning difficulties, as well as employment and volunteer opportunities.

People can also buy plants and Oxford City Council, which owns the site, hopes it will become a hub for community gardening schemes.
