Garden Film – The Big Shoot!

This Sunday (8th November) from 1pm to 6pm -  we will be working on a number of different tasks including:  hedge laying, pond lining, river bank maintenance and eating burgers! Film director Volkhardt Muller will be ably assisted by several community gardeners as he tries to capture the activities on film (see post below for more info).

Come on down for a bit of film, fun and food!

Many of the brambles that have choked the garden for so long, finally gave up their fight, yielding a large section of the garden full of rich loamy soil which now has been sewn with clover to increase soil fertility and keep the weeds at bay during the winter months.

Romance must have also been in the air as during the day volunteers dug a new pond, and after many hours the muddy pit had transformed into the shape of a heart!

Following the last Community Garden meeting – we have decided to combine an already planned open day with an attempt to begin several new projects. We just need muscle – so recalling the days of the land army, we have decided to name our next event ‘Dig For Newton’, which is a call to all interested persons to come down to the garden with or without a spade and help us dig to victory!

It will be a great day. There will be a number of different projects happening; including the construction of a wildlife pond, riverbank maintenance and the creation of a tree nursery. All we need is you!!

There will also be plenty of activities for both adults and children, including a free barbecue for every hungry volunteer. We will publicize these activities as and when we confirm them – so do watch this space for more detail.

We hope you can make it down for the day – any amount of time you can spare would be warmly welcomed and richly rewarded, so come along on September 26th any time between 10am and 5pm and help us Dig For Newton!
