Thanks to everyone who came along to our 2024 AGM. This year included a tour of the growing spaces at the Cottonmill Community and Cycling Centre (well done to the youth groups growing in the raised beds!), an overview of an active year, and some fantastic sharing food.

Get growing with us Saturdays and Sundays from March until the end of the year. Around during the week? We also have sessions from 10 am every Thursday. Find us at Berners Drive Community Garden, AL1 2JB. No experience or equipment necessary, although you’re more than welcome to bring your gloves and tools if you have them.
