We’ll be weighing everything we harvest on the day to see how many meals we’ve grown and how much CO2 we’ve saved compared to supermarket produce! πŸ™‚

Thanks Karin. What’s lovely about a community garden is that we all learn so much from each other. It’s a shared experience and we value everyone’s input. Thanks for being a key part of our journey.🌻

For the last 20+ years, this 200y/o Georgian house has had ALL its grass cut regularly. Since moving in at the end of March, I’ve now chosen my paths & have started the long journey of turning this 1 acre plot into a haven for #wildlife. Here’s to a #NoMowSummer πŸ’š
