Incredible Edible Maindee

Hello! Remember the wildflower survey and all the other workshops we did for Grow Wild? The funding for that came from Kew Gardens Community fund and they would like to hear about our experiences for a case study....if you came to any of those events and would like to take part in the feedback session..we'll be at Maindee Library + on Tuesday 21st Aug between 6-8pm...there will be tea and coffeee and most likely cake....

No work task this sat[11th] as we'll all be at Woodland Park for the annual summer party! Join us there and sow some flower seeds to take home, take some bird & bee friendly wildflower and grasses seeds home to make a wildlife patch of your own, do some paintings of butterflies or just have fun on the water slide/assault course or dog show........and see you in the car park Saturday September 8th 2-4 as usual, when we'll be clearing the beds ready for winter and sowing/planting autumn/winter crops.

Saturday 14th work task cancelled- we have been along and tidied all the beds up today as they were looking so dreadful in our drought conditions. All looks much nicer now and we can sow some autumn crops once the rain starts! The french and runner beans, beetroot, courgettes and carrots are still looking quite healthy though so there may yet be a harvest...watch this space!
