PLEASE LIKE, SHARE AND COMPLETE OUR QUESTIONNAIRE🚨 We need your help to save our community space 🚨

We need to have an honest chat with our wonderful community. We love running the JGFC Community Sensory Garden, and opening our little Snack Shack was a dream come true to give everyone a place for a "guaranteed hello" and a warm drink.

But the reality is, right now, customer interest is very low. We are getting desperately close to the point where we may have to close the Snack Shack for good.

We absolutely don't want to do that, but we can't keep it running without you. Before we make any drastic decisions, we want to listen to you. If you don't visit, we want to know why. If you do want to visit, we want to know what would bring you through the gate regularly. Is it opening times? Menu choices? More seating?

Please take 3 minutes to fill out our quick survey and tell us what you want to see here. We want to build this space with you and make it a hub you genuinely want to use.

Please fill it out, share this post, and if you can, pop down this week to grab a cuppa. Let’s keep this green space alive together. 💚

We want to build this space with you! Whether you pop in every week or haven't visited us yet, your ideas will help shape the future of our community garden and its new Snack Shack. It only takes 3 minutes to help us grow.

Come and pay us a visit this weekend. Open 8am - 4pm Wednesday through Sunday. All profits from the Snack Shack go straight back into improving the garden. We are a non profit charity led community sensory garden and we desperately need community support to keep our snack shack open......USE IT OR LOSE IT FOLKS!! 💔

Looking for a hidden gem to explore this week? 🌸✨
We’d love to welcome you all to the JGFC Community Sensory Garden and Snack Shack! Whether you’re looking for a peaceful escape, a safe place for the kids to burn off energy, or a spot for a caffeine fix, we’ve got you covered.
Here is why we think you’ll love it here:
Free to Visit: No entry fees! We are a community-led space open for everyone to enjoy.
Safe & Secure: Our garden is fully enclosed. You can literally lock the gate behind you, allowing your toddlers (or your furry friends!) to roam free while you relax.
The Snack Shack: Grab a cuppa and a treat at honest, community-friendly prices. ☕🧁
Nature at its Best: Our wildflower meadow is in full swing, and the flowers are looking absolutely stunning right now. It’s a sensory delight for little ones.
Dog Friendly: We aren't just "dog tolerant"—we are totally dog friendly! (we even have free gravy bones) 🐾
Facilities: No need to cut your trip short; we have toilet facilities available on-site.
It’s the perfect spot to meet up with friends, enjoy the sunshine, and let the kids explore a beautiful, natural environment without the stress of them running off.
📍 Where to find us: Loxley Lane, next to the train station, Whitwell, S80 4NY
⏰ Opening Hours: Weds - Sun 08:00 - 16:00
Come say hi, enjoy the blooms, and support your local community garden! 🌿🐝

Community Shout Out!! Does any kind person have any lavender bushes they are digging up? We have a very dry flower bed that is not suitable for the pansies / violas we planted a few months ago in our round planter and as we have entered RHS In Your Neighbourhood competition again this year. We are trying to get the garden looking as beautiful and ship shape as possible in anticipation of their imminent judging visit!
