Another sold-out willow weaving session was held in May, the result being six beautiful willow swallows for our attendees’ gardens!
These ever-popular workshops are run by Jo Sullivan, who offers a range of workshops through her business, Willow with Jo. They always go down really well when we hold them at the garden, so do keep a look out for future dates on our Events page and on our Social Media channels.
Our Plant Swap event returns on Sunday 24th May, from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm. There will be opportunities to swap and purchase plants, buy produce, enjoy refreshments and talk to local organisations.
Confirmed stallholders, all sharing ideas on sustainability and nature, include:
There will also be delicious food from Lava Egyptian street food, refreshments from our pop-up Garden Café and ice cream from Bear’s Great Escapes.
We really hope you can come and join us for what promises to be a fantastic event!
On 14th April we were delighted to welcome to the garden Lucy and Gisela from the Heritage Seed Library at Garden Organic. We learned so much about the project and how it works, a truly fascinating session.
Our attendees heard why heritage seeds are so important, how the project works, how people can get involved and so much more. There were some wonderful stories about seeds being donated to the project by people wanting to ensure those varieties do not die out. We also had the chance to sow our own little pot of heritage Red Orach seeds, whose progress we will be tracking. One attendee has already reported that their seeds have germinated!
We are so grateful to Lucy and Gisela for their excellent knowledge and expertise, and for taking the time to come and visit the garden, and of course to our own Sharon for her excellent organisation skills. Everyone had a great time!
