Golden Hill Community Garden

Hi everyone,

A massive (and late!) thank you to everyone who helped make the fair such a lovely day. In the end we had 581 people through the gate and took £567!! Amazing.

Now it's back to the real work of building our site and growing vegetables! And if you've been past you'll have seen the obstacles in our way...... floods. The massive April rains have hit a naturally very boggy site and made worse by combination of land cleared and compacted by heavy machinery, and the teram and woodchip that are keeping the brambles at bay are also holding on the the water. And with the ground totally saturated and the ground water level so high there is no where for it to go. So what to do? Well fingers crossed for a drier May and watch this space for exciting drainage plans!

Our next event it on the 9th JUne when we'll be opening as part of the Get Growing Trail and city wide eveent when communirty farms and garden opem there door and invite people in. We'll be open 10-3. We'll have refreshments, a mini plant sale and some planting activities. It'll also be our Saturday working day so everyone is welcome to come down for a chat and a look around.

As usual if anyone would like to bake a cake or have any spare plants to donate then that would be fantastic.

Thank you

Lucy
