You are invited to join us at our Gather Community Garden (GCG) Open Garden taking place between 10.00am and 2.00pm on Saturday 28th August. GCG is a 7 plot partnership with local charity Growing Futures. It is open 6 mornings a week and is also used at other times. As well as growing fruit and vegetables the plot also has a 2 beehives, 21 chickens, 2 toilets, and indoor and outdoor cafe areas. Additionally there is a quiet garden based around the theme of Psalm 23 and a prayer room used for personal and group reflection.
The project will host an art exhibit in September and will be the venue for a Men’s Garden Shed project – also launching in September.
The community garden project is part of the work the Gather Collective chaplaincy team. It reflects our desire to help create community connections for people and be a presence within our communities. It is also underpinned by our belief in creation care and healthy food access.
