Community Fund – Garden Gate – May Update

Hello from the Garden Gate…

It’s a beautiful sunny day in Margate and we are busy making arrangements for our Music Day on Saturday 18th July, entertainment is being organised for a fun filled day… We will keep you posted with our progress in our next update…

We recently recruited our first apprentice support worker, 23 year old Joe Guy from Westgate, who has also become the 900th apprentice to be placed through KCC’s Kent Employment Programme. Joe is fast becoming a real asset to the garden and we are very happy with his progress.

We have just completed our ‘Introduction to Gardening’ course.  This is the second year we have run the 8 week course in collaboration with East Kent Colleges ‘Learning in Communities’ initiative.  Everyone really enjoyed the course and learnt lots of new skills.
