A fun community project distributing seeds to people in Somerset (and beyond!) to grow Sunflowers to brighten up their community, develop wellness, bring communities together and to make people smile.

Our sunflower planting station is back thanks to Sunflowers of Somerset! You can grab everything you need to grow your own sunflower at home, including the pot and soil.

You'll find all the goodies in our downstairs drop-in space while stocks last. 💚💜💛

Little packs of seeds going to Chard Library today and a pack of seeds off to Ferne Animal Sanctuary ready for their crafty activities during half term. They can all go straight into the ground now that the weather is warmer. They will love the sunshine too! There's still a few hundred seeds left from our 10,000 back in March! Who wants some? Last orders please! Still time to take part in the Race to the Top!!

Well done First Chard Squirrels! Glad you all had so much fun!
