Friday was an exicting day for Community Spaces – as one of our projects was given a royal seal of approval. The Ventnor Botanic Gardens Westgate project on the Isle of Wight was officially opened by The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. Above is a picture of Prince Charles meeting with Groundwork UK’s Director of Open Grants, Wendy Jenkins and the Ventnor Botanic Gardens Friends Society.

Pictures from the day can be found at: www.flickr.com/communityspaces and members of the Ventnor Blog have also uploaded some video footage of the Royal’s arriving on the island and greeting local school children, follow the link to view the video.
