The Secret Garden project finished in June 2008, however the site has now been named The Rea Garden. The part of the site which housed the shipping containers in The Secret Garden project has now been designated as a project space for artists to use, both invited and by a proposal process. Arlene and Paul are managing the space, which currently hosts artists Ian England and Alex Lockett  who are working on their Project Pigeon for the duration of 2009. As well as Project Pigeon the ‘Artist Residency Programme’ has begun, with the first ‘Artist in Residence’ Hannah Hull now working on site. Hannah is residing at The Garden throughout September, October and November 2009.

The Rea Garden is open each Friday during residencies from 11am – 4pm.
