VOTES are needed to ensure the Museum in the Park Walled Garden project gets more funding.

The volunteer scheme has been chosen by the Engage Foundation as one of its ‘community award’ projects whereby the public vote for their favourite idea to receive funds.

One area of the garden is nearing completion with new paths and a lawn but funding is needed to complete the work by adding topsoil, hedging and seeds. Vote for the money at http://bit.ly/1nlGwTI by May 30.

The garden, once part of the mansion house at Stratford Park, has been derelict for years and is slowly being brought back to life. For more about the project see www.museuminthepark.org.uk
