Over the summer 6 different community groups and around 100 families have been growing vegetables and herbs. These were given as small plants in April by our “Growing food, Growing Friends” project. We especially wanted to encourage people with no garden to grow plants in tubs.

On Sunday August 31 we held a picnic in the Forest Garden in Valentines Park for those who have taken part and other members of the community. We wanted to meet up again to see how everyone has got on in growing both food and friends.
