19.01.2022 The Community Garden Project is in full swing and participants have been learning about composting, biodiversity in the garden and planting bee attracting plants. One of the participants made a great tasting chutney with the Guinea bean (Lagenaria siceraria), which is actually from Africa and is more like a squash or gourd. This plant has a beautiful white flower and can be seen growing along the fence line near the Cottage. The gourd has attracted much interest from visit...ors and staff over the past few months. During the last 4 weeks up to 102 kg of food has been harvested from the Community Garden. All the food goes towards our emergency relief programme.
