What a beautiful way to wrap up our Grow Your Wellness gardening club!
Over the past few weeks, we’ve planted, learned, laughed and grown not just vegetables, but friendships and confidence too.
To mark our final session, we came together for a special brunch and harvest celebration, enjoying both the early results of our garden and treats brought in by each other:

• Delicious contributions including key lime cheesecake, watermelon slices and even popcorn!

• use the space more frequently in the near future embedding it in other projects

This pilot project has shown us the satisfaction of growing your own food and what it’s like when we work and grow together in a shared community garden.
