SUMMARY:Gardening Together Sunday Session
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the community garden on the last Sunday of each month for our weekend session – 12 – 3pm\, for some company and gentle movement in the outdoors. \nAt the community garden\, we tend to several raised beds\, borders\, a greenhouse\, fruit trees\, and a wildlife pond together. We grow all kinds of fruit and veg\, and there is often produce or plants to take home at the end of a session. \nThere are always plenty of different jobs to do and things to learn. Anyone is welcome to attend – just show up\, there’s no need to book\, and no skills are required as all training and tools are provided. \nChildren and families are always welcome. We’ve got garden toys and always invite young people to join in with planting and garden jobs if they want. \nPlease dress for the weather – sessions always go ahead unless it’s pouring with rain. We’ll post on socials if it’s off for any reason. \nThe space is accessible by wheelchair. \nAddress\nSt Anne’s Community Garden\, 152 Beech Hill Ave\, Wigan\, WN6 7TA \nThere’s free parking outside\, and it’s accessible by bus
