Information about this winner

This innovative scheme extends an existing 19th century city centre house, providing a facility to teach children about sustainability, conservation and healthy eating. The gardens are attractive and provide an oasis in a built up area which engages well with the community.  The scheme enhances the area, and brings to life a potentially urban dead space.
