Excerpt:
The 250sqm community garden at St Philips allotment in Upper Stratton, Swindon, opened on Friday with a Putting Down Roots event.
The space will allow Ukrainians to produce their own food.
“It helps being able to do something meaningful with people,” said Tanya Tymofeienko, who came to the UK from Ukraine two years ago.
“It’s what keeps you moving. If you don’t move, you get depressed about the news.”
The Ukrainian community garden will allow people to grow their own produce.
Ms Tymofeienko came to the UK with her two children, who are now six and seven-years-old.
“My grandma had an allotment and I’ve always wanted to do this with my children,” she said.
“That dream is being fulfilled here now.”
The site, secured by Stratton St Margaret Parish Council, will feature 12 large growing beds, a sunflower garden and a poly tunnel.
