What’s going on - some dates for your diary/organiser!

This project was made possible by a grant from Your Park which enables us to buy the seed and plug plants and work with volunteers to scarify the areas by hand and then sow and trample in the seed mix.

Local resident and volunteer Harry Adams tells us about what he loves about volunteering with Grow Batheaston

Grow Batheaston is about to apply for charity status. and we’re looking for Trustees to join the team.

Local Primary school pupils from Oak class got the chance to each plant their very own oak sapling on Bathampton meadows near to New Leaf Farm.

As I gaze across the meadows, flooded yet again this year by a barrage of water, beautiful yet at the same time unnerving, I wonder if I am looking at the realities of climate change. It is well known that climate change means a wetter world, warm air holds more moisture and yet the disruption of individual weather systems is still hard to pin down to global warming.

All of the Grow Batheaston team are local residents and we all share a vision; to strengthen community, encourage bio-diversity and build resilience through growing and sharing food.

Toby Gascoigne from the Grow Batheaston team recently spoke to Carbon Copy about our community vision.
