After a quick tour of the space and hearing about all the wonderful plans for the space, we were kindly treated to coffee and croissants - thank you very much!
It was a sunny morning spent clearing an area of the church garden that will eventually become a sensory space, there were plenty of tough roots that needed quite a bit of digging and also some pesky sycamores that had self seeded around a rose bush. The rose bush looked much happier, if a bit smaller, by the time we were ready to leave. And the entire space we had been working on nearly weed free.
We have a community mission coming up that is painting the church hall and keep an eye out for some future group runs to this amazing space.
Saint Swithun's Church Garden has been unloved however we are hoping to make it an open space for people to come and enjoy. To make it either a community garden or for people to use for as part of hall hire. It's a wonderful space that can be used to serve the community... But it needs to be cleared. If people do have their own gardening tools that would be ideal.
