A group of students on the college's acquired brain injury course, who have all suffered brain injuries of some kind, put together a series of questions to help Hill Close Gardens improve the welcome it gives to disabled visitors.

The former Victorian walled gardens, which were saved from dereliction and restored by volunteers, did not have a wheelchair until the visiting students suggested they buy one.

The brain injury programme's curriculum leader Ceri Thomas said: "The project was different because it was an aspect of a community from the past and the students saw it as just a garden and not everybody was into gardening.

"The students said they hadn't got a wheelchair to show anybody around so we recommended they purchase one.

"We always take one with us and with the volume of visitors they are going to get they may need another one."

"I think our links will increase and I think it will be a very positive piece of work."
