24.01.2022 Gardens grow more than plants, they grow people

22.01.2022 MEMBERSHIP HAS BEEN CAPPED - WAITLIST OPEN These past few months we have been inundated with requests for new membership, it seems lockdown and working from home have left us hungering for green space. Although we welcome new members and want to have as many people involved in our garden as possible, we also have to balance membership with what the garden can sustainably provide. Currently we have 101 adult members involved in the garden and we feel that this is maximum amoun...t of people we can cater to whilst still providing a positive community experience. As such the committee has decided to stop new enrolment for now, capping the member numbers at this level. We are still keen to hear from members of the public interested in joining and will be keeping a waiting list for those who want to join, so please register your interest via email to [email protected]. Our membership secretary will be in touch with those on the waitlist as soon as new positions become available. The committee will be keeping a close eye on member numbers, and we hope to reopen regular member application as soon as it is appropriate. Thank you for your understanding

20.01.2022 Tomatoes and eggplant seedlings are ready near the shed for community and private plot plantings. The ones labelled tomato Thai pink egg, tomato sweetie, eggplant Casper and eggplant tsatoniki are fair game, but please leave the others! If you’re thinking of growing tomatoes this season remember to net your plants as soon as the fruit’s set to avoid fruit fly and misery... #spring #summerveggies #organic #communitygarden #tomato #eggplant
