This week we welcomed a new group of home educated children and their parents to space2grow for the first of regular monthly sessions learning in the garden.

We have wonderful news to share! The results are in and we have been given three awards by South & South East in Bloom

Work continued this week on clearing the area behind the pond with some unusual discoveries of some old carpet and a rusty metal trailer frame! For other volunteers some general weeding and pruning was their activity of choice.

The wildlife pond is brimming with plants, animals and insects and looking fantastic

Great to see our community of volunteers enjoying working in the garden and exploring the wildlife in the pond.

Our garden volunteers have enjoyed a rare week with no rain to stop the work!

Our volunteers enjoying the garden this week. A satisfying day was spent sorting out the fruit bushes which were overcrowded and not bearing fruit.

Harvesting from the garden and sharing the bounty with volunteers and visitors.

In-between the rain showers we've had some very productive days in the garden, weeding, harvesting veg and even tidying up the salvage yard area.

It's a great time to visit the garden and see the amazing artwork created by participants from Creative Response, a local organisation that provides art sessions for vulnerable people.
