We are delighted to announce that we recently were awarded an “Advancing” grade by South and South East Britain in Bloom. Despite only being open for 8 months, the community garden has really flourished. It is a massive credit to all of the volunteers who have given up their time and significant amount of energy to help develop the space. The gradings are classed as “ESTABLISHING”, “IMPROVING”, “ADVANCING”, “THRIVING” AND “OUTSTANDING”. To have jumped straight to Advancing, bypassing establishing and improving within only a few months of opening is truly amazing. Well done everyone and lets see if we can push on to “Thriving” for next years awards.
