Scouts visit our garden

We had a wonderful evening. The scouts helped build a huge compost cake, using all the green waste that had accumulated over summer and we planted a potatoe patch, and brocoli seeds. Hope we see more of these enthusiastic young people

Sandhills Recipe Book now available

The recipe book is organised around the most common herbs to be found in our garden – where to find them and what to do with them. It also has a beautiful watercolour map of the garden – and some lovely artwork by Leapfrog Ability clients – and some amazing micro photos by David Kelly – a frequent visitor to our garden with a real passion for photographing the tiny creatures he finds there. Only $10 for a book – and we make $5 to spend on the garden for every sale…..I’ll be down the garden this SAturday 17th DEc from 2-4pm if you would like to pick one up….or if you can’t make it ring Chris on 49291452 to organise a time and place.

Meanwhile – there will be no working bee in on New Year’s Day – but I’ll be down the garden from 4-6pm the following Sunday if anyone wants to join me
