Plant and Seed Swap and Sale - August

Saturday 20th August

in the shop - 11-2pm - get growing! - free entry

Please register via Eventbrite so we know to expect you

Have you been out in our garden this summer? The concrete yard behind the shop has been cleaned up, fenced with pallets (painted and planted), and with hanging baskets and pots planted up with herbs and flowers; it is a great place to chill or chat!

The gardeners—you are welcome to join us any Monday afternoon—have now started a Plant Stall outside the shop at lunchtime on the third Saturday of the month. Plants are for sale or to swap, and proceeds go to supporting the garden with buying compost, hand tools, installing water butts and other improvements as we go along. Do come along...and if you have plants to offer, we will be happy to receive them!

Please make sure they are potted up and labelled as not everyone will recognise what they are. Please also only bring plants that are healthy and the sort of thing other people will want to have—not too many trees [most gardens do not have the space] or plants that spread so rapidly they are likely to become ‘garden thugs’ We have limited space to store unsold plants, but surplus seedlings and cuttings of your favourites will be most welcome!

Do you have some seeds you would like to swap?

Some plants or seedlings you would like to share?

Perhaps you want to start growing and greening your space?

It the answer is yes do come along.

Please drop off LABELLED plants and seeds at the shop prior to the event.

This event will be running monthly, so keep your eyes peeled for the next edition!
