Community Growing and Gardening Engagement Events
Are you involved in a community growing or gardening project? Have you got ideas for a community growing or gardening project in your area? Do you know of any land that could be used for a community growing or gardening project?
We’re holding a number of events across the Borough for anyone with an interest in community growing or gardening. These events will be looking at how a wider and more diverse range of growing spaces can be created in Cheshire West and Chester to enable more people to get involved in community growing and gardening and to get easier access to locally grown food. The findings from these events will be taken forward into a growing together action plan for the Borough.
