Locking nuts and stolen water butts...
Today was another good day at the community garden. However, the council, or someone, had replaced the normal nut on the metal fence with a locking nut which was particularly un-community spirited... Secondly, someone has nicked out water butt, which was actually doing a good job. Again, very un-spirited. They must have had quite a job doing so as it was half-full, had a rock in it, and needed to be taken over a big fence. Grrr.Otherwise, all good. Lots of new plants in, and we are slowly cov...

We continued painting and gardening and even found some slow worms. Ellie and her mother Fiona produced some lovely artwork that can been s... Continue reading ...
Possible interview in think Local for us!
The lastest pictures showing the progress in the Community Garden have gone up and with them, a posibility that we might get interviewd by Think Local. Ellie Garwood, who was once a member with us before moving to Chichester to get heavily involved with the Transition movement there, has contacted us suggesting that she can interrview us for the Think Local magazine. Hopefully, this will provide a great opportunity to get our organisation out there in the public eye. Continue reading ...
Another fantastic day at the community garden
A lovely day was had by all down at the Highlands Community Garden today. We filled another bed with lovely sifted earth and Jim planted some seeds. However, the big project was the painting of the wonderful murals by Kate, Fiona and their children. A massive thanks to all involved. It was great to see Katherine (spelling?), Paul's other half with their newborn enjoying the sun. We have also got hold of a water butt and have erected a platform. Next week's job is creating a run off from the p... Continue reading ...
