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. |
Highlights of 2020
We still have managed to cram in loads of positive experiences in between lockdowns at Grozone!
We have created a potting shed, made and eaten meals together, planted a hedge, sowed lots of seeds and harvested their products, we ran a successful "gnome" trail in February half term, despite the rain, we have refurbished the big fruit cage, had some fantastic Reiki sessions, proccessed wood and planted bulbs. We undertook a huge overhaul of the site to get the weeds under control when we reopened in the summer. We ran family holiday sessions to help combat holiday hunger and we have prepped the growing spaces ready for next year.
Despite the interuption from lockdown we have run 26 toddler sessions - with 341 visits from toddlers and their families over those sessions. We have been joined 49 new families as well as lots of familiar faces and some lovely new babies too!
