Communigrow.org.uk Food education & wellbeing community garden charity teaching food production, conservation & skills The therapeutic benefits of gardening are well-evidenced.

We are a sustainable food education charity based in East Malling, Kent. We show children, young people and adults how to grow fresh food in a chemical free, sustainable way, consequently benefiting physical and mental wellbeing in harmony with the natural environment. Our relaxed, inclusive environment enables people to learn at their own pace and feel valued as part of our community. Our benefic

iaries include children and young people with SEND, young people experiencing anxiety, people from under-resourced backgrounds, people vulnerable to loneliness or social isolation, older adults and many local school children. We are ‘off grid’, using solar panels to generate electricity. Our toilets are composting, we harvest rainwater, we are chemical free and use natural methods to grow food. We have wildflower meadows for pollinators and wildlife ponds. [email protected] www.communigrow.org.uk

Well it's definitely June in Bloom for the wild flowers at Communigrow 🌸🌼🌺

The bees are going absolutely wild for the comfrey on our bee bank, we've got a wildflower strip at the entrance to Communigrow sown by a couple of our young volunteers, Evie and Chris, which is looking stunning, our larger wildflower meadows are reaping the benefit of the yellow rattle sown last year and poppies and cornflowers are popping up all over the place.

This is all great news for biodiversity at Communigrow and for our pollinators and other insects 🐝🐞🪰🦋🐛🪲🐜

Why not pop along to our Open Day on 20th June (11am-2pm) to have a look at all the colour for yourself!

Wins and losses this week thanks to the heat! 🥵

While the lettuces and melons are thriving🥬🍈, Head Gardener Gavin was very disheartened on Tuesday discovering some of the crispy beans and squashes that really suffered in the heat in the polytunnel over the long weekend.

And to think that only three weeks ago we were moaning that the frost had got our spuds!! ❄️

How is your veg faring in this heat?!

Lots going on at The East Malling Centre today 💚
