POTATO DAY

Come along and help us plant potatoes in the garden on Monday 18 March 2013 from 12 noon.

We are also swapping seed potatoes, so if you want to try some other varieties, bring some of your own to swap.

We are also tidying up the garden in advance of Potato Day on Sunday 3 March, so if you fancy a bit of weeding, or shovelling gravel, come along and join us from 12 noon.

Special thanks to Anto for delivering a truck load of bark mulch and to GreenKING for a truck load of compost. Also to Andrew King, of Garden World who kindly donated four apple trees, and two cherry trees.

We would like to thank all the people who have worked hard over the last two and a half years to get this project up and running.

We are always looking for help with materials and tools:

• Cold frames
• Cloches
• Gardening Tools
• Timber for raised beds
• Manure
• Compost
• Compost Bins
• Hedging - in particular Eleagnus
• Fruit Trees
• Fruit Bushes - black, red and white currants, gooseberries, raspberries, etc.
• Alpine Strawberries
• Seed potatoes
• Vegetable Seeds and/or seedlings/plug plants

If you can help with any of these items, please contact
