Bexley Council, in partnership with The Friends of Lesnes Abbey and Woods, has secured funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to mark the 500th anniversary of the dissolution of Lesnes Abbey. The key aims of the grant are improving access and participation, saving heritage, protecting the environment and organisational sustainability.
As part of the grant funded Lesnes 500 project, the Community Gardeners main role will be to assist in the maintenance of the gardens at Lesnes Abbey Woods, and the development of a new herb garden, working predominantly with volunteers but also liaising with contractors and dealing with enquiries from members of the public.
For an informal discussion about the role please contact Ian Holt, Estate Manager, 020 3045 5618, ian.holt@bexley.gov.uk
