Pot of Soup Garden's Open Day

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the grand opening of the CHYP and Fire Station's Pot of Soup Garden. This Pot of Soup project is a gardening initiative set up by young people and support staff, with assistance from the Coachhouse Trust. 

This is a vegetable garden created by the young people's building of raised beds and designing a growing space in a backcourt area. The produce grown in the garden has been used as cooking ingredients by young people. Four recipes were shared as part of the open day.

The open day gave visitors the opportunity to see the garden, and I got a chance to speak with young people and support staff. There was plenty of enthusiasm and interest in developing the garden.
