The team has been cutting back overgrown weeds every Monday for the past eight weeks.
After all the hard work, the allotments are now ready for children to start planting in the spring
"They have turned over the beds with a view to shaping each bed ready for children to start planting in the spring," said Donna.
This is one of a number of projects across Cheshire to help maintain and improve green space in the community.
