Combe Martin Community Garden

The Green Ambassadors of Combe Martin have been working hard to create a Community Garden next to the Umber in Combe Martin.

The sight was cleared in November last year by adult volunteers from community groups, Exmoor National park and local PCSO officers ready for the young people to make their mark. Since then nature has had its way, and wild flowers grew in abundance.

The young people hoped to keep the area very natural, protecting the habitat for many wild creatures, while allowing people to enjoy the nature in this secluded spot.

After a visit to The Eden Project in Cornwall, the children designed and created their own Willow maize, mimicking some of those they had played in. Willow was also placed on the high banks on the entrance to the sight, covering the steep drop and creating a natural barrier.
