Event information
This event has passed.
The maintenance team have assessed the garden & nominated the following tasks to tackle:
- Removal of tree 'suckers' and unwanted blackberry bushes.
- A general clean-up of the plywood panels, yellow hose, and brown ‘drip-watering’ hose that have been lying around the pathways. (Note: If anyone can use any of those items at home, please feel free to help yourself before Saturday.)
- A tidy-up of the garden shed. (Note: please check on any open bags of pea straw/lucerne that you are storing in the shed... we don't want to make the shed too comfortable for any little beasties as the weather turns colder.)
- Path weeding. Although, many of you have been doing this as you tend your plots ,which means there is not that much internal weeding as in past years – thank you!!
- The council are due to ‘steam-weed’ the perimeter fence in the next couple of weeks, so our focus will be continuing to remove pathway weeds.
- A tidy-up, prune and shape of the lavender and creepers near the toilet block.
- Plant out the unused wicking bed with ‘edible flowers’.
- Cut back the Salt Bush near the Western Gate (Note: if anyone would like some Salt Bush to dry or to use in floral arrangements, don’t buy it... we have plenty, so again, help yourself!)
