We welcomed a group of fifty Kaimhill Primary kids, staff and parents on site for the last visit of the term this week.
Huge thanks go to all the plotters who helped out on the day – some at very short notice. We were able to muster a team of over ten, making the plot visits for the near-fifty kids much more engaging and interesting. It’s great to know we can count on this sort of support when spreading the joys of gardening out to the next generation.
It’s not too late to enter your plot for the Aberdeen in Bloom Garden Competition 2019. This year’s entry form gives another wee glimpse of the glories of Sandy Inkster’s prize winning garden – as featured in the Beechgrove Garden when Jim McColl visited it.
Luckily, plots don’t have to be to this standard! Entering your plot helps fly the flag for Garthdee Field and shows support for the Council’s efforts to encourage gardening and plotting across the city.
There are a few entry forms available in the Octagon, or you can apply online using this link. Entries close 12 July.
We are delighted to welcome Jenny the latest recruit to our Volunteer Squad.
You are likely to see Jenny working on the Community Garden over the coming Summer – please come over and say hello if you do.
Thanks go to Val on Plot 23 for suggesting this post.
Val recently attended a workshop run by the Tarland Seed Saving Network. This is a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable group running in the community and led by Lizzie Shepherd. Lizzie put the attached notes together and Val thought they might be of interest to other plotters. Lizzie has given her permission for these notes to be shared. Download as PDF.
We had a wonderful visit from Mrs McLean and her Primary Threes this week.
I think we can say a good time was had by all!
Community Sunday is this coming Sunday – we are hoping for a bumper turn out – to help us build our Arc if nothing else!
