As 2023 draws to a close if you are like us here and adore being outside it's easy to find yourself getting disheartened by the fact of wetter weather, darker nights and what seems like ages until Spring comes round again when we can get back out in the Garden and enjoy the beauty Nature gives us.

But if you just stop for a moment to look back at just how much our Fantastic Group of Trustees and Volunteers have achieved over the last 12 Months and all the exciting things yet to come in 2024 it fills us with gratitude and hope.🙏

We are so pleased that we have been able to work with all the lovely groups that have visited us this year and give them the opportunity to see the beauty of Jasmine Road Community Gardens

We have planted Trees for an Anniversary, Had an Easter Egg Hunt, Supported Various Groups in starting to grow their own Vegetables, Welcomed our Bee Kingdom followed by it's Bees, Had Summer Campfire Crafting and Cooking Sessions, Shown Youngsters how to grow Vegetables and Cook them. We have created a Therapy Animal Team which gives the Gardens even more life, Taken part in various Community Events and helped to restart the local Community Centre. Started a Community Growing Project that will help feed our Local Community and teach them New Skills Won't, Won an Award for Volunteering, Foraged to make our own Herbal Remedies, Celebrated Halloween in the Woods and we still have Santa to come.........🎅

Not bad going for 12 Months work is it really 😊

There's nothing better than seeing the joy in somebody's face when the little seeds they have planted just a few short weeks before are turning into strong healthy plants ready to make their own way in the world and start producing food 🌱

As we all know Nature is Amazing for our Mental Health and being outside connects us to the world around us and gives us a sense of being and purpose.

This is certainly something we have found with the lovely group that started with us back in May this year from Dudley CVS Integrated Plus.

They have worked really hard from scratch Clearing the Bed, Adding Compost, Planting the Seeds and tending to them, Watching them grow into Strong Plants ready to go outside to them starting to produce Vegetables for them to eat.

Well done you have done an absolutely amazing job 👏

It's a really lovely time of year at Jasmine Road Community Gardens when all the Daffodils and Tulips awaken from their Winter hibernation and burst into colour.

Some of our Vegetable 🍅🥒 Seeds are already sown and underway ready to go into the ground at the end of the month when the risk of frost has gone and we are keeping everything crossed 🤞 for a good growing season this year

We can't wait for the Summer to come again and everything to start producing Fresh, Tasty Homegrown Fruit and Vegetables.

Do you fancy being part of it all this year and Volunteering with us to help produce Fruit and Vegetables not only for ourselves to eat but also for our Community to provide those that need it most with a Meal. Our "Plot to Plate" Project enables people to come and buy Fresh Vegetables on a Pay as they feel able to basis. We will also use what we grow in our Plot to Plate Community Cafe & Hub at Jasmine Road Community Gardens

Our Mission at Jasmine is to make sure nobody locally to us goes hungry when we have the means and facilities to provide them with a Meal and teach them how to cook and feed their Family 👪
