The organisers of the Community Garden on Cornlands Road write;
“We have suffered some setbacks due to the crazy weather, vandalism issues and also changes to the Dig In team but the playground is slowly being transformed and we have been enjoying our weekly gardening clubs, we have some dedicated enthusiastic locals who are making the garden blossom. The broad beans are nearly ready and the peas are flowering, we have built a compost bin and we have lots of ideas for the future. We want more people to come along to garden and learn about food growing, or if you just fancy a cup of tea and a chat please join us.
We will be at the garden on either a Tuesday 5pm – 7pm or Thursday 3pm – 5pm each week.
We will be on site tomorrow 10:30am – 12 noon celebrating insects as part of National Insect Week so come along to find out which bugs are friends or foes in a fruit and veg garden and make some insect friendly crafts. All events and activities are FREE and OPEN TO ALL.
We are holding a Summer Fair on Saturday 18th August 1pm – 3pm so please spread the word or contact me if you wish to get involved.
If you use Facebook search for YWT Dig In and you can keep up to date with Cornlands and also the other two gardens we have created so far; Brailsford Crescent in Clifton and also Hull Road Park. We shall soon be starting work on the fourth community garden which will be in The Groves.
