About the community garden

The garden is a community partnership project involving local volunteers and the Salesians of Don Bosco at Savio House in Rainow.

Savio House was formerly Ingersley Hall, owned by the Gaskell family. The garden is a walled kitchen garden of about three quarters of an acre that dates from the 1850s and the time of John Upton Gaskell.

KRIV is an acronym for Kerridge Ridge and Ingersley Vale, an area that includes rural parts of Bollington and Rainow of special landscape interest. KRIV countryside volunteers are pictured in the blog banner working on garden clearance. The garden is gradually being returned to cultivation by KRIV community garden volunteers.
