Glastonbury's Growing Happiness Allotment Project has found not one, but two near homes.

After months of uncertainty, the project, known for its work in feeding the homeless, providing mental health support, and teaching gardening skills, was at risk of closure.

This was due to an urgent need to vacate their previous allotment by October.

The community rallied together in search of a solution.

Thanks to the efforts of local residents, organisations, and media attention, two new homes have been secured for the project.

These plots are perfect for growing a variety of vegetables, enabling the project to continue its sustainable gardening mission.

However, the Lowerside location presented accessibility challenges for participants with physical disabilities.

The community did not stop there.

The project caught the eye of the United Reformed Church of Glastonbury, thanks to support from local outlets like BBC Somerset and grassroots YouTube channels.

In a heartening act of collaboration, the church offered the use of their garden, located just across the road from the original allotment, and a mere two-minute walk from the project's office.

This new location will provide easy access for all members.

The church will share the space, allowing its members to enjoy the garden between sessions.

"This means the world to our volunteers and participants.

"We can continue our work for years to come, helping even more people in Glastonbury and the surrounding areas."

This partnership is a dream come true for The Volunteer Network, the organisation behind The Growing Happiness Project.

With the two new locations, they can now divide their activities to meet everyone's needs.

The Lower Glastonbury allotments will serve as the primary growing space for more physically active sessions, while the church garden will offer a tranquil setting for those needing a more accessible environment.

They look forward to many more years of growing together.

The Growing Happiness Project welcomes participants to their weekly sessions at 9 Silver Street, BA68BS, every Tuesday and Wednesday.

Participants are advised to bring weather-appropriate clothing and a drink.

The sessions include activities such as learning DIY, plant growing, harvesting, and building for the allotment project, as well as opportunities to make friends, work, and chat.
