Spring Frenzy,

Lots of things are happening in the garden right now. We need lots of people to be on board for the growing season to get off on a good start. Then we can all reap the benefits. Here's some of the things we need help with right now.

• transplanting seedlings
• digging new beds
• planting
• watering (when there's no rain!)
• installing two big water butts
• making the clay oven
• planting up the pond

Workdays: Sundays 1-4pm and Tuesdays 9.30-12.30

Next meeting: 6 May, 4.30pm

All Welcome!

Raised bed weaving

19 February @ 1pm - 4pm

We'll be starting to weave the circular raised beds with coppiced Ash from Stanmer Park.
Quite certainly fun for the whole family. There will be vegetarian lunch for volunteers (until the pot is empty).

Hope to see you all on Sunday

Tree Planting Day

All welcome!

Family Day

A huge thank you to everyone who made it a lovely day at the garden today.
Like Ross said; it's times like these that make it all worth it. The garden really is meant to be full of people chatting, working, eating, playing, foraging and enjoying the summer sunshine.
Have a look at the pictures to the right. Or click here to access the slide show as ALL pictures are there, not just today's.
