Update on Growing Focal. With your support we are now able to extend the raised beds, which will be done on the 23rd April, weather permitting. We have chosen a greenhouse and that will be ordered shortly. We are taking some seeds to a local poly tunnel until the greenhouse is in situ, plans are a foot for a very Veggie Summer. The team at Growing Focal still meet on a Wednesday and are eager to get back outside. This is only possible with your amazing support on our Growing Great Places, Spacehive. Once the greenhouse is up and running, we aim to plant seeds for more than our needs, to share and encourage people in the local community, to grow some things in the garden or window sill. Once again thank you to everyone who has supported our amazing project. Lisa and Chrissie
