Remember back in the summer when the garden was judged by the Royal Horticultural Society? Well...... We were awarded a level 3 😀 We think this is quite an achievement for a garden in its first year and it's all down to the hard work of our fantastic volunteers 🌻

@Lucy30949455 @FortisBen The garden is located in Elgar Park, Malvern

[PickersleighCG @PickersleighCG]

Our poor greenhouse took a bit of a bashing in the stormy weather last week but we're sure we can soon have it looking as good as new 🍃🌬️

Are you brave enough to join us for the #Pickersleigh Halloween Party at #Malvern Town FC? 🎃
There will be a creepy disco, spooky arts & crafts, pumpkin carving and more. This is a free event but spaces are limited so you MUST book your place(s) 💀

[Grove Primary and Nursery @grovemalvern]

The total so far from our cake sale is £211.40. One last push tomorrow! #communitieswk18 @FortisBen @PickersleighCG @AcornsHospice

[PickersleighCG @PickersleighCG]

The garden is run by the community for the community and we're always grateful for donations of plants or equipment from local businesses or individuals #ThreeCountiesHour

[PickersleighCG @PickersleighCG]

Hi #ThreeCountiesHour we're a new community garden in Malvern. We have regular gardening mornings every Tuesday 10am-12pm everyone welcome to come along 🌶️ 🐝 https://t.co/qXC9wCyqhg

[PickersleighCG @PickersleighCG]

We had another productive morning at our regular Tuesday gardening session. Lots of produce picked and some seeds planted late in hopes that the warm weather continues 🌶️🥔🍎🌻

[PickersleighCG @PickersleighCG]

As much as we've enjoyed the ☀️ some 🌧️ at the weekend was very welcome.
The bees are loving all of our sunflowers and we've planted some late season potatoes that will be ready later in the year.
In #Malvern and want to get involved? We meet every Tuesday at 10am 🐝🌻

[PickersleighCG @PickersleighCG]

We welcomed the @RHSBloom judges to the garden today.
Our volunteers have worked tirelessly to keep the garden in top condition despite the heat and dry weather.
We'll know how we got on later in the summer but we couldn't be more proud of what we've achieved so far 🌱🍓🍅🌼

[PickersleighCG @PickersleighCG]

All the watering 💦 is paying off, the garden is looking fantastic and we had a bumper harvest of our Charlotte potatoes plus some peas and courgettes. If you’re in Malvern and you fancy joining us we meet every Tuesday morning at 10am everyone welcome 🥔🌶🥒

First day in the office after a couple of weeks away...so what’s better than doing a bit of watering at the @FortisLiving Pickersleigh community garden

[PickersleighCG @PickersleighCG]

We visited the Droitwich Community Garden yesterday to help out for a few hours and have a look around. It was really interesting to see a more established garden and to talk to the volunteers.
We came away with lots of ideas and some plants! 🌱🍓

[PickersleighCG @PickersleighCG]

Another busy week at the garden and our new shed has also been built 🙂We're so excited by how fast everything is growing🌼 We meet every Tuesday at 10am and we'd love to see you if you'd like to get involved or find out more. #malvern

[PickersleighCG @PickersleighCG]

We’ve had a busy few weeks and it’s so exciting to see the garden coming to life 🌱 We’ve also had our first harvest of some lovely peppery radishes. Our volunteers meet every Tuesday at 10am and we’d love to see you there 🍅🌶🌽🥔 #volunteering
