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.

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.

We held some more of these sessions and yet again everyone has enjoyed their afternoon experience immensely! Lottie celebrated her second birthday here (a real honour for us) and Corin was treated to a slice of birthday cake which was wonderful.

We've seen a number of family and friend groups make use of the"Afternoons on the Acre" and it's been a delight to see the acre being used and enjoyed in a safe way.
