The Chantry, together with many local groups, will be inviting children (and grownups) to sow sunflower seeds at an event on Saturday 23rd April. The Chantry Centre garden and Café will be open between 10.00am and noon.

Holding Together in GL11 are a group of locals who became active last year to support our community by helping Cam and Dursley become trauma informed towns. At the heart of their activity is promoting the importance of connected relationships through compassionate action.

The sunflower seed is their adopted symbol, reflecting their aim of growing the seeds of compassionate action. At the planting event on 23rd April we will be inviting the public to sow sunflower seeds or buy sunflower plants.

The plan will be for the majority of these to be taken home to grow, but we will hold onto some to grow on so that later on we can plant them…
