In March 2020, #GrowTogether The Grow Community wants to support you to grow at home. We will be putting out a tray with free compost and seed packets for people to take away and plant at home. There’ll be an information leaflet too. We can then offer you lots of advice, and support you growing at home through our online channels.

Follow our step-by-step guides here.

Please email us or comment on the Facebook post if you would like to join in. We can then let you know when and where to collect the packs from.

Please be considerate and only take one set per family. And please stay safe, practice social distancing and wash your hands.

Our 7th March 2020 event started with a fantastic talk by Nadia from Wilderhood Watch. The Community made seed bombs, planted up pots and had refreshments, including some very topical hedgehog cupcakes (thanks Sallyann).

A great turn out to our Community’s Love birds! launch event on 1st February 2020. Big thanks to the Ver Valley Society, who led on making the bird boxes that have now been put up along the River Ver. Lots of fun was had making seed cakes and sowing sunflowers.
