“A Brilliant concept to bring so many groups together in the quest
to encourage the community of Trafford in growing better fruit
and veg along with the general appreciation of
what volunteers are able to do.”
“I felt the whole experience was worthwhile. The
gardening knowledge was extrodinary”
(what worked well was) “the opportunity to
make links with other oganisations and gain
information about setting up growing in my
school”
