"Old people don't go out but wander over here. People helping people. No issues, no fights. We have action days every 3 weeks and started building cold frames." (Bassett Street resident)
 
"The garden helped to bring the community together. Around here a lot of people were frightened to look at each other." (Bassett Street resident)
 
"I didn't think it would last but I see people using the space regularly which is nice to see."(Bassett Street resident)
