We love to see how the community at Grow Gurnard have found a second purpose for our empty hessian sacks!
🌱 A little Grow Gurnard update! 🌱
With the summer holidays in full swing, our wonderful volunteers have been a little thinner on the ground ☀️🏖️... but we are still growing! 💚
Here's a little look at how we're doing our bit for the circular economy by giving local materials a second life. ♻️
☕ Jaspers Coffee sacks bring Fairtrade beans all the way to Cowes... and once they've finished their journey, they come to us!
We've found plenty of uses for them around the garden:
🪱 Shielding our wormery from the harsh summer sun.
🥒 Keeping our courgette roots moist and happy.
🌱 Protecting young seedlings while they get established.
And the best bit? Our worms have been working hard too! They're now producing beautiful, nutrient-rich compost that we can mix with soil to raise healthy seedlings, ready for the later growing season. 🌼🌿
Nothing goes to waste, and every little bit helps! 💚♻️
If you can make any volunteer sessions we would be grateful! 🙏 Check out our events ! 🗓️
