New community growing hub opens at Berries Field Park in Oldham
Oldham Council has opened a new community growing hub at Berries Field Park in Chadderton, led by Councillor Abdul Jabbar MBE and delivered by Willmott Dixon. The £38,000 project includes a polytunnel, timber planters, and accessible pathways, funded through donations and 140 hours of volunteer work. The hub aims to give residents, especially women, safe spaces to grow food and herbs while building community links. Partners including Wright Landscapes, Faber Joinery, and Rose Scaffolding donated materials and time. The hub is now open to all and complements the existing park.
