A GARDEN fit for a community was opened yesterday.
Environmentalists Groundwork West Durham worked with local trainees and artists to create the community garden from formerly abandoned land outside Catchgate Communal Rooms, at Catchgate, near Annfield Plain.
The group received funding from the European Union and the Coalfields Regeneration Trust and worked with both the Catchgate ward Regeneration Partnership and Derwentside District Council to create the garden.
Pride of place has gone to a seat created by local sculptor Graeme Hopper.
Partnership spokesman Dorothy Willis said: "The new garden is absolutely brilliant, it looks really good."
