The first parenting course came to a close on Monday evening and although restrictions were in place and the course content was adapted to keep everyone safe, the feedback from those who attended showed it had been incredibly worthwhile

Natalie's Friday session had a challenging task of tackling the large leylandii that runs next to the path. It had become very overgrown and it needed a good prune to bring it within ‘arms length’ and hopefully more manageable for future trimmings.

Monday saw the first 'Walks & Talks' take place led by Thursday Gardening Group's Dave Merrick. On completion the group had walked 6.7miles, up an undulating elevation of 232 metres.

The garden looks significantly different as we have strimmed down the majority of the wildflower meadow this week. It's always with a tinge of sadness when we do this but it's an essential part of the cycle to ensure that next year it springs up and looks glorious again.

Parenting Courses returned to the acre on Monday Evening. The course got off to a great start, many families finding comfort and support, sharing the stresses and strains of daily family life - especially after the last six months.

For the second year in a row space2grow has been awarded the "Outstanding" mark by South and South East in Bloom in the Community Garden Section.

"Afternoons on the Acre" - memories made We’ve put together a highlight of the “Afternoons on the Acre” that ran during the summer.

We’ve put together a highlight of the visits made to space2grow with the “Afternoons on the Acre” that ran during the summer. It was a wonderful way in which we were able to open up the garden to local families and friends.

September days and the slow, subtle changes that signify the end of summer are around us once again

A highlight of our week was the visit from Natalie with her two sons (Aaron and Jack), together with her mother, 'Nana'. They had a splendid afternoon with both boys getting really stuck in to a spot of weeding and harvesting and leaving with arms laden with produce.
