Melksham in Bloom

As part of our growing participation within the local community, we entered the front garden at our training centre into "Melksham in Bloom" ... and we've just been notified that our garden has been awarded second place in the "most unusual garden" category, and third in the prestigious and hard-fought "large front garden" class. Not bad for a new entrant!

Our garden's moved on a long way from 1999, when we moved here. In those days, the back was a jungle in which you could find buried car parts, the remains of what was probably a concrete airraid shelter, and brambles and nettles galor. The front was a tired section of lawn (in reallity, more of a moss carpet) that straggled into a worn out and rutted driveway that formed two long ponds in the wheel tracks in the slightest of rains.


Lisa and I don't have 'green fingers'; the transformation and ongoing maintainance work wouldn't have been possible without Christine and Jane who planned and oversaw the transformation, and Nigel of Gardenworks who comes by most weeks to keep it in order for us. Thank you - Nigel, Jane and Christine.



Customers who attend our public courses (PHP, Linux, Perl, Python etc) are welcome to wander around our gardens during breaks and after class.
