A community gardening scheme is set for an even more sustainable future thanks to a generous donation enabling rainwater harvesting.
Three large water butts have taken pride of place at Hassocks Community Veg Patch. They were a gift from a Sussex charity, the Budding Foundation, and supplied by nearby South Downs Nurseries.

“This is a wonderful initiative”, said Clive. “And we are delighted to support it by helping them to use nature’s water which is good the plants and good for the environment.”
