The old Farmhouse garden 'Towle Memorial Garden' is a jewel of old Bilborough and deserves to have a little love and care. We are going to be spending a couple of hours each Thursday morning in the garden, tidying, planning, hopefully planting seeds and flowers to prepare the space for spring so we can reap the rewards and use the space to have gatherings, run workshops and events and generally have it as a peaceful safe space for the community. All are welcome, if bringing children or adults needing additional support they will be the responsibility of the parent/ carer or guardian throughout the session. Children and adults with additional needs are welcome, there is usually a corner of the garden to find space away from the group if it is needed and the garden itself is quite enclosed.
