getting together

Much of the feedback from our annual stakeholder meeting in our Welcome Woodland Garden in April was about people wanting to connect with each other at community events like ours. Sharing real food, friendly company, in beautiful, welcoming outdoor spaces. It's a real human need and it can include all ages and people from all walks of life. We held another such event last week at the May Close Community Allotment, with our partners We Are FoodPioneers. Our very mixed allotment group joined up with local residents, people from our other gardening groups and courses, a few local councillors, carers, volunteers and supporters for a scrumptious BBQ and a couple of hours of companionship and warmth. It's simple, it's needed, and it makes everyone feel good. We will be doing more of this - watch this (breathing) space.
