Hyson Green Library garden
Hyson Green Library garden and Acorn Resource Centre transformed
Hyson Green Library has been showing off the transformation of its garden and Acorn Resource Centre.
The work was made possible by a successful grant funding bid from The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport funds LIF, which is administered by Arts Council England.
With Arts Council support, the garden has undergone a stunning makeover, featuring captivating mosaics crafted by local artist Sophie Robins. Inspired by the essence of gardens, Sophie’s intricate designs represent the sights, sounds, and scents unique to these serene sanctuaries.
This project has been a collaboration between the library service, the Acorn Resource Centre, the Community Health Partnership, The Mary Potter Health Centre, Greater Nottingham LIFT ProjectCo, social prescribers, and various other Nottingham City Council departments and local organisations such as GreenSpace. Together, they aim to create inclusive spaces for the community to thrive.
