🌳Current situation of VGC🌳
Dear Members and friends,![]()
We wanted to inform you of the current situation at VGC prior to our AGM next week on Wednesday 18th March at 10.30am in Tigh na Drochaid.![]()
Three of our current trustees wish to step down leaving just one trustee who is willing to continue to help manage the garden. Without any new trustees coming forward it will be impossible to continue as a charity.![]()
We are proposing to close down VGC over the next 6 months.
You have the opportunity to express your views by commenting on this post or by attending the AGM next week.![]()
We hope to all gather in May to celebrate together the 20th anniversary of VGC, of all the good times and opportunities it has given us to come together to create a beautiful garden and to be with a welcoming and supportive community of people.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.
Did I forget to post these last week, yes yes I did but better late than never!
Basil is enjoying that the snow drops are here and it feels like winter is finally thawing a bit, we hope.
Every week, we are burning off more of the pile of the old timber and we are slowly getting there, should be done soon.
There is lots of weeding and prepping to do before seeds are ready to be sewn and some are already!

VGC IS BACK! A rainy yet, warm day😉🔥 because it was so wet we struggled to burn alot of the damp timber so there will probably be another bonfire next week when it's hopefully dried about a bit but there will be notice for that soon. ![]()

Also something spectacular is happening in April so stay tuned to find out😊 (some may know already)![]()
