A project to improve Pilton’s Rotary Gardens was completed in 2014, in time for the park’s 40th anniversary on Friday 23 May. Work at the gardens began in 2013, with a new path and benches and extensive work on the trees and shrubs, giving the place a fresh look and making it more accessible for the local community. Three new information boards were placed around the gardens. Two provide visitors with a potted history of Pilton (prepared by The Pilton Story team) and of Rotary Gardens (prepared by the Rotary Club). The third board is a tree trail, designed to help people enjoy the beauty of a variety of trees around the gardens.

The photograph shows some of the people involved in the project, L to R: Members of The Pilton Story, Margaret Reed and Liz Eveleigh, Rotary Club of Barnstaple 1974 Secretary John Moore, past President Brian Ross and current President Brian Kettle, local ward members Cllr Brian Greenslade and Cllr Mair Manuel.
