(LKMC) have developed an Organic Community Garden thanks to funding from Gloucestershire Primary Care Trust, and Gloucestershire Community Foundation (Grassroots Funding &amp; Comic Relief).&nbsp;</p>
<p>LKMC sits amidst many social housing properties &ndash; with many families/residents unwaged or/and on low income.&nbsp; Stroud District Council, is our Landlord, and very supportive of our idea.&nbsp; So much so they dedicated the site that the Community Garden has been developed on.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Project has been set up to encourage residents and families on the estate to grow fruit and vegetables they can use themselves at home and for our &lsquo;Cooking Rocks&rsquo; courses set up to teach children the basics of cooking and learning about healthy eating.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A volunteer living on the Estate created the raised beds and seating areas; the fencing erected by a local businessman and painted in fun primary colours by a local contactor.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Community Garden has been opened since 2008 and we have regular workdays run by keen residents, and a dedicated group of 15 children/young people; who have now formed a group and called themselves &lsquo;The Garden Gang&rsquo;.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is the third season and already &lsquo;The Garden Gang&rsquo; has produced an assortment of vegetables, which has been distributed throughout the Estate.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We are very proud to have won 1<sup>st</sup> prize in the Children&rsquo;s category of Stroud District Councils Tenants Garden Competition for the last 2 years, and we hope to win again this year.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Some of our members have completed a course in Organic Vegetable Growing, with the &ldquo;Down to Earth Co-operative&rdquo; and are now able to help and instruct other residents to start organic vegetable gardens.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.lkmc.co.uk/news/rss-comments-entry-11964235.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>2011 Annual General Meeting</title><dc:creator>LKMC Ltd.</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 25 May 2011 15:23:27 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.lkmc.co.uk/news/2011/5/25/2011-annual-general-meeting.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">899995:10502162:11573350</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Our Annual General Meeting is on 21st June (7:30pm) at Kingshill House.
