GROW GRUBBY in the wonderful Garden Life Show! April 15 & 16 2011. We had springy delights for sale, items for donation, activities to try and ideas to share. All welcomed and loved the mock garden.

12th March will see a free skill sharing mini- workshop at Talbot Road Allotment site. Come along and smell and pick up different soils, learn about different sowing techniques and find out what to do this month. All welcome 10.30-12noon
