Our Wildlife Hide
We have an observation hide built to the East of the area where visitors can sit and watch the activity. It has been designed for easy access by disabled people.
The Hide has been financed from a Generous Grant by Essex Community Foundation. A water scrape has been constructed, and berry bearing shrubs planted. An old tree stump acts as a support for bird feeders. This has been generously paid for by Helen Finbow in memory of her father Michael Freeman, who loved these gardens.
A stumpery/loggery has also been constructed at the South West Corner. This was financed by a generous legacy from Evie Morgan a long term resident of Braintree and Friend of the Gardens.
These additions to the Gardens encourage flora and fauna and are another element to enjoy.
