About Grow Batheaston
Grow Batheaston is a one-year-old community group initiated by a small group of local residents, coming into existence as a response to the pandemic which threw into relief the problems society is currently facing.
The group’s common love of growing and gardening sustainably has enabled it to flourish and encompass wider areas of interest which now includes plans for a local store, a community garden, a Hen Club, a Bee Club, a Sports and Fitness branch, a Wellbeing group, support for a local Art Trail plus collaborations with other organisations within the village.
