comments

"I just felt like every individual had a valuable contribution. Literally everyone is committed and knowledgeable in the group! I know that probably shouldn't surprise me, but I've just never really been a part of a community before... I'd recommend the hosting of an Open Garden Circle for others like us who want to garden and are new to the area, because I met at least one swapper who lives nearby so it's a chance to get to know like-minded close neighbours!" - Lisa

"I've been looking for something like this for a long time... people with the same interests. Other things I try to join, people just seem to pass the time fighting with each other." - Stephen

"It's about resilient neighbourhoods... And I've met so many fabulous people." - Annie

"You always learn something new, share ideas." - June

"It's so nice to just sit for a while and chat, not to have to do anything." - Kim

"You never go home angry." - Len
