New beds almost ready for planting…

1st August 2016

With the arrival of fresh top soil from Bourne Amenities last week, work has ensued filling the new raised beds in preparation for planting out seedlings.

The next work party will be on Saturday 6th August from 12pm til 3pm. Please come along to help finish the beds and begin planting out seedlings. We will be collecting some surplus plants from the Greenhouse Group at Alexandra Park.

If anyone has any spare plants, feel free to bring them along! We also need wheel barrows, use of a strimmer (we have no mains electricity…) and plenty of elbow grease!

We will also be having a conversation about what we’ve achieved so far and future plans.

We rise from our beds and raise raised beds.

23rd June 2016

On the last weekend before the summer solstice we took delivery of a few tons of sleepers and began building raised beds. A more technically tricky task than most expected, we made steady progress realising Julie’s plans, making some changes as we went along. Many thanks to all involved, especially those who came both days to ensure that we made a great start to the central element of the community garden.

We will now be meeting every week, alternating between Saturdays (1.00pm – 4pm) and Sundays (10am – 1pm), the next being Sat 25th June.

Many thanks to Littlewood Fencing for supplying the wood.
