April 2026
Here’s our current list of volunteer tasks.
If you’d like to get involved, please visit the Volunteering page.
Volunteer Tony produced a very smart wigwam for our sweet pea plants, which are coming on nicely in plugs in one of the polytunnels.
More high winds in early April caused some damage to one of the polytunnel roofs, which needed some repair work to secure it.
The windy weather this month did bring a bonus, however, in the form of a donation of woodchips when the Council dealt with a fallen tree on Pitchcroft. Our volunteers were quick to use these to improve a number of paths onsite, which are now looking very smart!
Our beekeeper Richard was onsite this month after a swarm of bees was spotted just outside the garden gates. Richard was able to entice the swarm into one of our bait boxes, and fortuitously was on hand to do the same for a second swarm which turned up on the same day. Hopefully we now have 4 active hives!
