Growing Together is a community gardening initiative on the Bournville estate in Weston-super-Mare. Delivered by Alliance Homes, a North Somerset Housing Association, in partnership with the local community, our aim is to develop vibrant and exciting green spaces in the local area. We currently have two community allotments and a sensory garden all located a stones throw from the local Parade. We offer volunteering and training opportunities in gardening and cooking, whilst delivering a host of one-off activities from building bug hotels to cob pizza ovens. Our aim is to support and nurture people and strengthen the local community by 'Growing Together'
