A community garden in the Westcott area has been transformed.
Manor Road Community Garden has been revitalised thanks to the efforts of a local resident and various groups.
The Swindon Area Green Party shared the update, highlighting the new raised beds at the site.
The garden was brought back into use a couple of years ago by Rosie working with the housing association.
Since then, a parish community and a gardening team have continued the work, attracting new groups to use the facility.

The two new flower beds at the front of the garden will be used for cut flowers and given away to members of the local community.
These will be grown organically as part of the Grow to Give project.
The flowers include sweet peas, geum, foxgloves, cornflower, and verbena, all planted by Rosie.
The project was promoted by Andy Day on behalf of the Swindon Area Green Party.
