Great to have more of the Honicknowle community, this time those attending the Phoenix Centre community cafe and food larder gave their views on suggestions for what the community garden at St Francis will be called, part of the Honicknowle Community Gardens project.
We’re getting closer to opening it to the community, hopefully May.
Community gardening sessions restart in March on Saturday 14th March 10-1 and Sunday 29th March 1-4pm.
If you’d like to help us get the garden ready, please message me or pop along.
