<p>Join our gardening group for a spot of weeding and pottering in our community garden, or enjoy the peace and quiet in the woodland area. If you don’t fancy gardening, you can try your hand at one of the many crafts we have on offer. It’s never too late to learn a new skill!</p>
<p>Everyone is welcome. We always have a cuppa and there is often cake!</p>
