GRAND OPENING TV gardener Christine Walkden with some juicy apples.
A NEW communal garden planted as part of a healthy eating project has been opened in a Rawtenstall park.
The garden next to Rossendale Museum has been created by Incredible Edible Rossendale.
People are encouraged to take advantage of the free onions, apples, cabbages, broccoli and lettuce being grown alongside the park’s traditional flower beds.
Community development worker Caroline Collins said: “This is all about building sustainable communities and about people helping each other.
The official opening of the garden was performed by celebrity gardener Christine Walkden, from Rishton, who is Incredible Edible’s patron.
