News Update
We are taking this a day at a time. We have closed the site to visitors and new volunteers so that measures to limit numbers and allow maximum space for workers are effective. We are looking after the plants, and starting to collect seeds for sharing next year. See the story of how volunteers are keeping the garden for the community:
