Grozone Community Garden Grozone is a community garden, horticulture and wildlife project based at the former Dane Nurseries

Grozone is a flourishing community garden, horticulture and wildlife project in the middle of Northwich, Cheshire

We provide volunteering opportunities for all and social and horticultural therapy for people with mild to moderate depression and anxiety. This 'hidden oasis' is a fantastic place for mind and body, where you can learn new skills or share and develop existing ones in a welcoming and sociable outdoor environment. The garden is open to everybody Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays 10am - 3pm. Come down, meet the team and take a look around the working garden.

It’s been a busy week at Grozone, more work has been done on the construction for our new shelter and we’ve spent the past couple of days on a deep clean of the rafters in our kitchen area.

A special thanks to the Vivo group for their help over the past 12 weeks.

Grozone is always so lovely at this time of year when we start to notice the change in the season and the smell of autumn in the air.

Here are some pictures to show some of what we have got up to this week.

Beautiful bee/insect water stations decorated during our mindful contact with nature sessions today.

We just need to add some pebbles to the top and keep them topped up with water to provide a safe drink stop for our six-legged friends.

Thanks to Ian from Mid Cheshire Beekeepers for bringing the demonstration hive to show us and for telling us all about the wonderful world of bees.

Other jobs this week have been: clearing the small fruit cage; weeding; clearing the ditch; removing ivy and brambles from our forest garden; and repairing bird tables.

Thanks to our wonderful volunteers for all their hard work (as always).

It’s been another busy week at Grozone.

We have harvested grapes, damsons, radishes, squash, broad beans, dwarf green beans and chick peas!

Our giant’s head has had some repairs and we have been painting the roof supports of our new shelter.

We also had a special guest appearance from… Percy!

What another wonderful week at Grozone.

We finished the week with a visit from a volunteer from the Butterfly Trust who did some moth trapping and showed us the moths that were found. We had a robin having a nosy at the moths - we think it thought the moths were breakfast!

Moths found were:

Large yellow underwing
Common wave
Willow beauty
Turnip moth
Flame shoulder
Common underwing agg.
Straw Dot

What a busy and hot week we have had at Grozone. Despite the heat, we have got lots done. We have done repairs, removed invasive Himalayan balsam, processed wood, harvested veg, weeded, watered (and watered and watered!) created beautiful prints using Tataki-zomé/hapa-zome and focused on colours during our Wellies in the Woods session.

It hasn’t all been hard work though - we found time to eat delicious banana cake baked by one of our volunteers, we took part in the Big Butterfly Count Conservation and we got the Grozone paddling tarpaulin out to cool down.

Tonight we are celebrating Percy’s 69th birthday 🥳 and retirement. Percy has been a volunteer with us for over 10 years and he will be sorely missed.
