GROW Crew (as the attendees are known) came to work sporting colourful neckwear to support another local charity. Even Sebastian, the dachshund owned by officer Carol Brehaut and sitting on Alex’s lap, came along wearing a bowtie. Crew member Jolyn Morton was keen to join in. He said ‘It’s important for GROW to help another charity.’
Jess Aughton, Acting General Manager said ‘Bowel cancer has affected members of our team or their families so it is a charity close to our heart. Taking part in Loud Tie Day gives the Crew and staff an opportunity to get together for a good cause and give something back to the community by showing our support.’
GROW is currently operating from Avondale Vinery in Oatlands Lane while their site in the Coutanchez is redeveloped. There is a range of plants and ‘grow your own’ veg packs for sale at Avondale along with sacks of logs and kindling. Open throughout the weekends with an honesty box in the greenhouse.
