Big thank you to everyone who came along to our celebration of the international Green Flag Award Open Day exploring our award-winning gardens, wildlife area, ponds, and orchards. Celebrating our volunteers who make the Community Centre and Garden such a success, we could not do all the things we have accomplished without you. From enjoy a bowl of hot soup and crusty bread, homemade cakes, and drinks etc.
To taking part in creating crafts using natural materials, joying the soft tones of singing mamas, the blend of African drumming, delight of face painting, mask making, delightful laughter from the children's games area and seeing the professional art work from our own art beat hub there own Art Exhibition,
One of our gardeners said 'Gardening provides a spiritual dimension for me, enabling a connection with nature, mindfulness and meditation. It feels great… after I’ve been about an hour in the garden sometimes, I come back feeling fresher and more energetic'
Celebration Day was so much fun and laughter as we enjoyed making and creating. About 70 people came along throughout the day to enjoy with speeches from a few of our line up
