IMPORTANT UPDATE

It is with huge sadness that we need to inform you that TWIGS Community Gardens has temporarily closed its gates to visitors (23/3/2020 onwards) and all our activity sessions are suspended. The health of our staff, volunteers and visitors has to be our number one priority and the current situation regarding Coronavirus has resulted in us having to make this difficult decision .

We will continue to keep you informed of any changes via social media and our website.

To all who have become part of our TWIGS community and those who have supported us, we look forward to seeing you all again in the future, and we send our very best wishes.
