A wonderful morning awaits. This is how it will work:

- Please drop your plants before 11:00am

- From 11:00 there is tea, coffee & cake

- From 11:30 the plant swap opens

- From 12:00 we will sell the surplus plants

Please bring your plants, cake or just yourself!

840kg Plastic removed

During the weekend of 18 and 19 April all plot holders were encouraged to remove as much unused/waste plastic from their plots. This was a huge success as 840kg of plastics was removed from the site that will now be recylded. This equates to 42,000 plastic bottles or 168,000 plastic bags!

A huge thanks especially to all volunteers who made this possible.

Let's make sure we continue to reuse what we can and be mindful of the plastic we bring on site. Please see our use of plastics guide here.
