We were very happy to welcome children from St Andrew's Infant School reception class for a visit supporting their new school topic on gardens. It's always a joy to host school children on the acre.

This week saw the space2grow acre bathed in sunshine and enjoyed by our wonderful community. Family visits, gardening, dancing, barbecues, veg club, yoga, Farnham Men in Sheds and a Creative Response writing group, all took place under blue skies.

Our latest cooking club course for Potters Gate School came to an end this week. The families were treated to a barbecue by Coral and Jon and enjoyed a chat with Trevor, our resident bodger.

An unusual activity took place this week with the gardeners and Farnham Men in Sheds, our collaboration with Farnham Maltings, joining forces, using a stomping technique to create cob, a building material for making walls using compacted clay, sand and straw.

This week the visit to the acre by Pat Evans, Farnham Town Mayor and Michael More-Molyneux, Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of Surrey, made front page news in the Farnham Herald!

This week saw a special day at space2grow as Pat Evans, the Mayor of Farnham officially launched her special project on the acre – a wildlife pond, with decking made by Farnham Men in Sheds, a collaboration between space2grow and Farnham Maltings.

This week we have a lovely insight into bodging at space2grow from volunteer John.

Last week Farnham Men in Sheds, our collaboration with Farnham Maltings, put the finishing touches to their project to increase the capacity of the Hale Community Fridge and Cupboard food waste reduction scheme.

Our mini gardeners have been busy! Over the last few weeks of veg club they have planted seeds, including peas, broccoli, radishes and beetroot, nurtured them and planted out the seedlings.
