Fgura garden restored following €40,000 investment

Upgrading and regeneration work at the Pjazza Patri Redent Gauci Garden in Fgura has been completed, following a €40,000 investment by the town's local council.  This was announced by mayor Pierre Dalli, speaking at the garden on Friday in the presence of Environment Minister Aaron Farrugia and Local Government Minister José Herrera. “This investment goes to our residents, families and their young children, to provide them a safe place to spend their free time and enjoy nature,” he said. Dalli noted that Fgura, population 14,000, was a densely populated locality and said that the garden is the most unique open green space available for residents to enjoy.  The regeneration project started back in November 2020 during the pandemic. Embellishment works included landscaping, installing security cameras around the garden and adding rubber flooring to the play area. Ambjent Malta planted 200 trees and shrubs in the garden. The investment also includes the installation of 10 new benches, with each one dedicated to NGOs and organisations that are involved in Fgura and played a part in the regeneration project. 200 shrubs and trees planted by Ambjent Malta Speaking at the event,...
