This is an exciting development for Community Patchwork Farm CIC for Truro . Congratulations!

Exciting news! 📣📣📣

We are delighted to announce that we've just signed an agreement with Truro City Council. The agreement is to develop for community growing a currently unused corner of the lovely Victoria Gardens in central Truro. There is a polytunnel frame that will be reskinned and used for growing, and we will have facilities for meeting together.

There is a bit of work to be done before we can start to develop the site, but look out for more news! Once we are able to get going we'll be seeking volunteers who'd like to help turn the site into a thriving growing and meeting space!
