Earlier this year Grow Batheaston achieved charity status and we are now looking to recruit more Trustees and build the capacity and capability of our board.

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.

Eco Together is being run by Transition Bath, based on similar successful projects elsewhere in the country. It brings together small groups of neighbours, friends or colleagues for 5 structured sessions to support each other in making changes that tackle climate change and the cost of living crisis in ways that suit each person best. Eco Together helps people do the eco-activities that have been on the list for a long time and will be very satisfying to complete!

New Forest Garden to be created in the Secret Garden in Batheaston

The core team at Grow Batheaston are beyond excited to finally be able to start work on a new venture in the village; this is the creation of a ‘Forest Garden’, situated behind the established and much appreciated Secret Garden next to the river and car park in Batheaston.

No matter how carefully we budget, those sharp hikes in our energy bills will come on top of the other cost-of-living increases that are swirling around us now. But there is help available.

We have started a volunteer calendar for projects we are working on that you can get involved in

In January 2021 Grow Batheaston received a £5000 grant from the Bath & West Community Energy (BWCE) Fund for the Grow Batheaston Store.
