A beautiful sunny Saturday morning, and I made my way to the St Michael’s church grounds and the Green Growers plot. It’s only about half a mile away, so I hopped on my bike as usual. When I arrived, Jane was already there, busily weeding and clearing the flower beds. I soon realised I’d forgotten the tools I needed to assemble the flat-pack shed, so I had to cycle back home (and then to the garage) to fetch some screwdrivers. The round trip took a bit longer than expected. By the time I returned, Anne had joined Jane. The two of them were working together, planting and weeding away. All around us, the other gardeners were in full swing — mowing, chopping, trimming, and tending to the church grounds. I spent the next hour or so putting the shed together. Once it was built and looking smart in its new spot, I packed up, cycled home, and spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the glorious sunshine. 🌞

We're setting up plots to grow fruit and veg within communities who are being hit by the cost of living crisis the most and could really benefit from locally grown, organic free food
