The Friends of Graves Park are now ready to start the restoration of the next section of the Norton Nurseries site back to parkland. As the third section we have restored, this latest section will be in the form of a woodland garden, to complement Chantreyland Meadow wildlife area and the Arboretum part 1. Both of these areas are very popular with park visitors and are experienced as a haven from the hustle and bustle of life in the city. The Arboretum Part 1 has been given the nick-name of "The Secret Garden" by visitors. Our vision is to restore the next section of the site, which has long been described as derelict and surplus to requirements and which is currently used as a dumping ground for rubbish.

The Friends are confident that, with support from the public, they can create an extension to the current Arboretum from the current waste land, which will be a valuable asset to the citizens of Sheffield.
