Innovative water collection system

Earlier this year, we teamed up with Leeds environmental charity Hyde Park Source to create a biodiverse garden in Lower Wortley that gives back to the community and the wildlife.

We redesigned a communal garden from an underused, uninspiring space into a vibrant place.

We've listened and acted

Local residents offered to help water the plants over summer but asked if we could create a rainwater collection system.

Our gardening team came up with an innovative solution by combining a large water storage container with recycled materials to create a unique collection funnel. The system is now up and running, ready for residents to use on the new planting.
