🌱💚 A huge thank you to our amazing community volunteers at the Forest Recreation Ground Community Garden!

Today they hosted a brilliant community BBQ, using fresh produce grown right here in the garden – from courgettes, butternut squash and corn to new potatoes and tomatoes, all grown with love and care. 🥗🍅🌽

It was such a lovely morning filled with good food, laughter, and community spirit. 🌞🍴 The garden is thriving thanks to the dedication, hard work, and passion of our volunteers, who make this space a welcoming and inspiring place for everyone.

👏 Let’s give them a round of applause for showing just how special community growing can be!

If you’d like to get involved then why not become one of our Green Guardian Volunteers 💚 Nottingham Green Guardians
