See you next time!
#SpudFest23
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,

Beaver’s Gardener Activity Badge – Part 1
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.
