How does your garden grow?

At the first sight of daffodils and cherry blossom, we warmly welcome Spring and start to turn our attention towards the Heritage Hub's community garden. 

For those of you who have not been to the Hub in recent weeks or not ventured into the garden, we are pleased to report that it is a hive of activity and for once, we are not talking about the bees! Helped by a team of volunteers co-ordinated by Project Grow, hundreds of little seedlings are revealing themselves to the great excitement of all staff but particularly our Green Pledge Project Team. 

To celebrate this development and to shine a spotlight on the important work they are doing, the Green Team are hosting our next Saturday event 'How does your Garden Grow', 4th May, 10-4pm. There will be a series of short informal sessions on local green initiatives, ideas for your garden and a Q&A session for your gardening queries. There is a bookable talk by Marion Hill, the Green Pledge Learning and Outreach Officer on 'Gloucestershire Gardens, Great & Small' and a screening of the hugely popular and thought provoking film  'Six Inches of Soil'.

Also on the day, there will be a tour of the community garden by the designer responsible, vegetable seed planting, various short films, nature based information stalls and a display of garden themed documents held at Gloucestershire Archives.  We're even offering free lunchtime soup made from locally grown vegetables. 

And whilst we are talking about roots, why don't you visit our onsite partners at the Gloucestershire Family History Society, open from 10am on the day, to discover more about your family heritage.  

Booking is essential for the main talk and film. For further information please go to How does your garden grow? | Heritage Hub
