Benfieldside Community Garden is on the Good to Grow Map!
Benfieldside Community Garden is now on the Good to Grow map - we are delighted to be part of the Good to Grow network, and look forward to being involved in their events!
"Good to Grow (the new name for the Big Dig) is an online platform to support food growing in the UK, run by Sustain. The Good to Grow Network is all about getting people involved in their local community garden."
Our first event linked to Good to Grow, will be in the week of the 22nd to the 29th April - exact details to follow!
"Good to Grow Week celebrates the new growing season and is a chance for volunteers and community members to help out in their local garden, while supporting and enjoying the valuable community food growing spaces around the UK. It’s also a great way to get the garden ready for the growing season, promote growing for nature and build the Right to Grow movement across the UK."
We are very excited about this new venture, if you would like to volunteer, please get in touch!
