The Heritage Garden celebrates the local market gardens of the area - particularly after the expansion of the railway to the town (1850-1950). Some of the most famous market gardeners had nurseries in Feltham, including Sir Harry Veitch and AW Smith.
It was created in 2018 with the support of funding from the OurSpace Award. The raised beds were constructed by volunteers from TCV.
The Heritage Garden includes a Feltham Beauty Apple Tree in memory of Mark Savage, who was a founder member of the Friends group, and sadly passed away shortly after its formation. He was an active member of the local community, and cared deeply about the area's heritage.
