Bradford College Students Revive Historic Garden at Esholt Hall Estate
Students from Bradford College are lending a helping hand to restore a historic garden at Esholt Hall Estate. The once-thriving kitchen garden, which once supplied the hall with all its food, is being revived as a community wellbeing hub. The project involves carpentry students working alongside a community arts organisation, Sponge Tree, to create wheelchair-accessible planters.
The students, under the guidance of James Haigh, Technical Qualification Co-ordinator & Lecturer in Carpentry & Joinery, are enhancing their skills and gaining valuable work experience. They are producing raised planters for a new walled garden, ensuring accessibility for all visitors.
The historic building itself is undergoing renovation, transforming into a flagship Centre of Excellence for Yorkshire Water's training academy. Peter Coddington, Partnership and Portfolio Manager at Yorkshire Water, commended the students' work and the satisfaction they derive from working at the historic site.
Paula Taylor from Sponge Tree shared her enthusiasm about the partnership with Bradford College. The organisation has been working with the students, providing drawing designs and supporting the project.
The restoration of the kitchen garden at Esholt Hall Estate is progressing with the help of Bradford College students and Sponge Tree. The project not only revives a historic site but also provides students with practical experience and contributes to the creation of a community wellbeing hub.
