Pippa’s Group is based at Landport Community Hub and works closely with the Landport Community Garden during forest school sessions.
Marina Pepper runs the community garden and made collections on Bonfire Night dressed as a ‘Little Weed’.
The garden also runs therapeutic gardening sessions for adults who have been referred by their GPs.
