Growing, preparing, enjoying, sharing. Local produce and more..
SpudFest is back for another year! Thanks to Aylett Nurseries for providing a seed potato for Year Four children at our local primary schools to #HaveAGrow.
The seed potatoes are a Second Early Variety called ‘Nicola’ and are suitable for growing in containers as well as straight into the earth.
Each child will be provided with a leaflet with growing instructions from the RHS.
We’re looking forward to hearing about their progress later in the year,
We are at the garden as usual Thursday 30th March. Thinning seedlings, preparing the strawberry patch and checking on wildlife!
Fancy having a go at growing spuds this year?
We have ‘taster’ packs of Swift seed potatoes (a First Early variety).
Available on the stall at 71 Leyland Avenue.
*** Suggested donation 3 for 50p ***
Fast growing. Does well in the ground and also grows well in containers.
Plant 3 in a container that can hold about 40 litres of soil (8-9 gallons)

We had fun with the Beavers tonight!
Sowing seeds for the community garden, learning about plants and tools.
We will see them again next month when we’ll give them a tour of the community garden and they’ll plant their seedlings – ready for the whole community to enjoy.

See you next time!
