A dedicated group of volunteers are creating a garden at Aldborough Roman Site. Visitors can now see plants that the Romans introduced to Britain including a wide range of vegetables and herbs that were used for medicinal purposes.
On Saturday, September 24, 2024 they were very pleased to welcome the Mayor of Boroughbridge, Councillor Pauline Phillips and her Consort Peter, to the presentation of a garden seat. The seat has been donated by a FORA member.
After the presentation, the gardeners led a tour of the garden, showing how the grassy area had been transformed into an immaculate, flourishing garden by their hard work.
Another donation to the garden is a beautiful notice board made by Jennyruth Workshops.
Now the different beds are well organised, the next phase in the garden is to work on the planned orchard.
