The Mall Gardens Residents’ Association
What do we do?
Mall Gardens Residents' Association [MGRA] are a group of volunteers who maintain the gardens and help build and support the local community. Our mission is to grow our membership and gain more volunteers to improve the gardens and grow the local community. We manage both the public top garden (opposite The Ivy) and the private residents’ gardens lower down.
This is our primary focus, and where the majority of the time, effort and funding go. Local residents meet in the gardens to carry out a range of work, from planting and pruning to tree & lawn maintenance. Guidance, tools and protective wear are provided.
Community
The top public gardens get a lot of use by locals and tourists and we strive too keep them as clean, tidy and family friendly as possible. This means a little bit of litter picking goes a long way!
We liaise with the City Council, local traders, other local groups and have input into local planning matters, deal with environmental issues including refuse collection and parking. We hope to enable residents' voices to be heard on all areas of local concern.
Social Events
It’s not all just shovels & secateurs! We are always looking to welcome new locals and help grow the friendly and proud community we have.
We host garden parties, live music, picnics and more.
