A community garden is set to bloom following a land transfer by a council.
Breckland Council has agreed to give a piece of land in Norton Road, South Lopham, to the parish council.
This land will be transformed into an eco-friendly community garden for people in the area.
The intention for the space is to not only provide an aesthetically lovely area, but also serve as a community space, providing a green haven where people have the opportunity to connect and experience nature.
