family fun
space2grow was full of fun this week with a visit from families as part of the new space2breathe initiative giving families a much needed break from home.
Plenty of socially distanced digging for everyone, playtime with the dogs and a welcome break from homeschooling.
willow working
It was all about willow this week on the acre. Pruning, staking and weaving to create a beautiful natural border to the back of the fruit beds.

reflections from the acre
In this week's reflections Izzy, a volunteer currently studying at UCA, shares her thoughts....
"Space2grow is good for the soul. I am really thankful for the space to connect with nature and the community - it has often been the highlight of my week during lockdown! Working on the gardening projects is therapeutic, although I usually spend more time taking photographs than actually working!"
If you would like to share what the acre means to you please email info@space2grow.space - we love hearing everyones reflections.
As always, we are working hard to ensure that space2grow remains a Covid safe site so please email info@space2grow.space prior to your visits, bring your own food and drink, take any rubbish home and please adhere to social distancing.
