The wettest start to the year has meant the muddiest of acres but we've realised that one man's mud is another man's...muddy treasure!

In this first newsletter of 2026 we take a little time to look back on the year just gone. It was full of highlights...

It was a very wet and wild day for the last volunteer session but that did not put off the Christmas celebration!

We were delighted to hear that we had won the popular Fifty for Fawkes Guy Competition at the annual Fireworks and Torchlit Procession organised by Farnham Round Table!!

Huge thank you to all those who joined us for our weekend garden volunteer day.

Our weekly nurture club returned to the garden this term. Originally called the 'nature group'  the children have decided to rename it the 'nurture group' to describe exactly how they feel about the sessions.

As new terms start and children head back to school, we wanted to reflect on the fun and busy days we had during the summer.

As we roll into August we look back on some of the busiest few weeks we have had on the acre to-date!

Summer arrived with a blast of fun at space2grow as we hosted London Fields Primary School from Hackney. They enjoyed a day packed full of activities followed by an over night stay under canvas.

On Friday 7th June we hosted our 2nd BIG LUNCH. On the success of last years event supported by the Eden Communities we wanted to celebrate all things space2grow

We have come to the end of two Talking Teens courses that have been running this spring and we are so proud to be able to offer these courses in Farnham.

"I didn't realise you could get lost in something so small. And I didn't know getting lost in something so small would be so fun. I am so haaaaaapppy"

The Men in Sheds team have had a very busy start to the year. This month has seen them focusing on the building of the F A R N H A M bug house letters.

We've had a very wet start to the acre with the storms at the start of the year resulting in floods. Luckily the pond and sheds all remained intact and water dispersed quickly.

The last few weeks have been very festive at space2grow, here are a few highlights!

Our community came together for a wonderful bonfire night celebration!

Our new initiative, space2play, is in full swing with local families enjoying nature based activities in the garden.

Over 250 local children and parents enjoyed free summer nature club sessions at space2grow earlier in the school holiday!
