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...

Posted by Jonathan Pearce on Thursday, March 31, 2011, In : Community Garden 
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.
