We are very excited to share that Shekinah Grow are winners!

Over the past few months, our volunteers have been nothing short of incredible, each one contributing in unique and essential ways to the transformation of our Grow site. Through their hard work, dedication, and unwavering passion, we are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded the Level 5 Outstanding rating by Britain in Bloom as part of the RHS Southwest in Bloom awards. This prestigious recognition from the Royal Horticultural Society is a true testament to the collective efforts of everyone involved. We are overjoyed, deeply honoured, and profoundly grateful for each individual who has been part of Growing Grow.

This achievement would not have been possible without the invaluable partnership working between Shekinah and the Jatis Project in Torbay. Working together, we’ve been able to nurture not only a thriving garden but also a space where community and connection flourish. Our volunteers from all walks of life have come together to shape this site, pouring in countless hours to cultivate a vibrant, resilient garden that is truly the pride of our community.

From planting and pruning to designing sustainable layouts and creating a sanctuary for local wildlife, every bit of progress on our Grow site has been fuelled by the dedication of our team. The green spaces we’ve created are not just visually beautiful but also serve as a vital resource for everyone in the community, supporting both physical and mental well-being. Through the challenges and the triumphs, each volunteer has brought something irreplaceable, helping turn a vision into a blooming, award-winning reality. Thank you to every single person who has been part of this journey. This recognition is shared by all of us, and we cannot wait to see how Grow continues to flourish with your support. Here’s to even more growth, connection, and celebration as we look toward the future!
