Discover the art trail brightening up The Meadows Community Garden

Tucked behind The Meadows Community Centre, something vibrant is growing — and it’s not just the vegetables. With murals, sculptures, and nature-inspired installations, The Meadows are creating a unique art trail through their community garden. What began with a striking mural on the building’s front has blossomed into a creative journey featuring buzzing bees, painted shipping containers, and collaborative works from local artists like Mark Shields and Durham Spray. This evolving outdoor gallery not only brightens the space but also invites more people in to enjoy, connect, and even lend a hand.
