Welcome to Grozone Community Garden, Northwich
|
Grozone is a flourishing community garden, horticulture and wildlife project in the middle of Northwich, Cheshire We provide volunteering opportunities for all and social and horticultural therapy for people with mild to moderate depression and anxiety. This 'hidden oasis' is a fantastic place for mind and body, where you can learn new skills or share and develop existing ones in a welcoming and sociable outdoor environment. Important news The health and wellbeing of people in our community is our top priority. Following the latest advice from the Government, we’ve taken the difficult decision to close Grozone for the time being. We hope that you will understand our reasons for doing this. We will continue to follow the Government’s advice and will open again as soon as we are able to do so. We may be closed for the time being, but we want to continue to be a part of your daily life by staying connected with you online via our Facebook page - Grozone Northwich. As well as keeping you updated about Grozone we’ll also be sharing ideas and suggestions to keep everyone occupied and entertained in the meantime. We hope you’ll get involved. Best wishes and stay safe |

Here is a look at of what we have been up to!
-We have had an average of 23 volunteers come to our regular weekly sessions and an average of 19 toddlers to each of our Monday session plus their parents and carers.
-We won "Outstanding" in Its Your Neighbourhood award from RHS Northwest in Bloom for the second year running.
-We have done around 40 different crafts, had reiki, yoga, lino printing and pilates sessions. We have learnt new board games, read some great short stories, learnt some bushcraft skills and of course grown some amazing food - particularly good year for cucumbers, parsnips, courgettes and beans.
-We had around 125 packed lunches together, sat out on our picnic table (unless really cold weather has chased us into the yurt!). And have cooked around 25 meals in our outdoor kitchen, using our own vegetables.
-We done loads of site maintenance including putting in a new hedge, continuing work in our Forest Garden, improving the toddler area, adding green roofs to our tools containers (Thank you Environment Agency!) and having the first year of our "no dig" system in our allotment, to protect our soil flora and fauna.
There is always more to do - come and join us in 2020 for gardening, company and to top up your wellbeing!!
