Grozone 2018
What an amazing year it has been at the garden
Our new routine started and we have enjoyed numerous Bushcraft, Wellbeing Wednesday and Chat and Craft sessions. We have of course continued gardening, growing, site maintenance, music sessions and the long held favourite cooking days.
In addition we had a visit from the BBC, created a Grozone lion, celebrated our 10th Birthday and won two GOLD awards from North West In Bloom.
Most importantly at least 215 different volunteers have been this year, with an average of 23 people at the garden each day - this is 2851 volunteer days!
With the addition of 38 toddler sessions, with an average of 21 little ones and their parents and carers each session and over 650 different toddlers and their helpers now on our books! That's a whole lot of community gardening and well being in twelve months!!!
We couldn't have done it without all the amazing help from local community groups and funders - Thank you all and lets make 2019 even better!
Take a look at our slide show below for an idea of what has been going on this year!
