Community Growing Club

Love all things growing and gardening? Want to get involved in some low-commitment community volunteering? We'd love to see you on the first Tuesday of each month to help plant and maintain our new Altrincham Community Garden on Central Way!

In May, a partnership of Olinda Community Gardens, Altrincham Market, and Bounceback Food CIC completed the construction of a new Altrincham Community Garden. Our new Community Garden is a small-scale project with six planters and a climbing green wall featuring herbs, vegetables, and flowers. The aim is to create a community space for gardening and growing, as well as to use what we harvest for Bounceback Food's community cookery classes tackling food poverty, waste, and social isolation.

Though small, this project requires regular maintenance. We are looking for people with good knowledge of gardening to help us with this on a monthly basis. Our kitchen will provide free hot drinks for all volunteers so make sure to come down and join the fun!

Details:

Date/Time: December 3rd, 10am (first Tuesday of every month).

Location: Bounceback Food Community Kitchen, 1 Central Way, Altrincham, WA14 1SB.

What to bring: Gardening gloves, small tools (trowels, pliers/pruners, etc.), and any cuttings or plants you might like to donate!

Olinda Community Gardens are a fellow CIC based in Trafford focused on strengthening food security, increasing natural biodiversity, and improving community wellbeing. Find out more on their Instagram @olinda_community_gardens.
