Even though you haven't heard from us on the blog for a while we have been actively engaged in the garden.
- We are developing and planning the Parish Forest Garden - please refer to page dedicated to this project.
- Our chickens are doing very well - settled and thriving in their home. It's not unusual to hear their happy sounds during Mass - they are always a point of interest afterwards when they receive a visit from children and families before going home.
- We continue to meet in the garden every month for garden activities and social engagement. We have a wonderful time and welcome anyone who would like to join us - no garden experience necessary we share our individual talents to learn from each other - diversity is the key to a successful community garden. Please refer to upcoming workshops and events for garden dates.
- We have a new garden shed - we are all very happy about this - we now have a space to store our garden tools and resources - plus our new wheelbarrow!
- The next famous Bob's Bistro event is coming up in July - further details will be posted on the blog.
- Our vegetable garden is thriving - we have had a healthy harvest of leafy greens, eggplant, and various herbs. Our scarecrows are not scary enough to keep the pesky ibis away so we have had to add some netting over the garden beds to stop them eating our seedlings and harvest. We even had a garden bed of rockmelon this summer that grew from our compost.
