🌱 Another great day in the garden! 🌱

Our gardening class was back in action yesterday, getting stuck into the garden and making the most of the lovely autumn weather. 🌿

There was plenty of planting, chatting, learning and getting hands-on — and, as always, a great bit of community spirit along the way. 💚

It’s brilliant to see the garden being used as a space where people can learn new skills, get outdoors and enjoy some time together.
