There are always various jobs to be done either outside on the plots, inside the fruit cage, or pottering about within the greenhouse.
Like a...
Firstly a big thankyou to the people who represented Greengage at the library open day on Saturday. I gather it went really well and everyone who came along really enjoyed themselves.
Secondly, Greengage will be attending the ‘Picnic in the Park’ in Herston on bank holiday Monday, May 6th. We would appreciate a few helpers during the day, if anyone is free.
Thirdly, as some of you are aware, Lush in Poole kindly donated the big water IBC’s to us, which we’re using to catch rainwater off the glasshouse roof. Following on from this, they’ve invited us to go for a visit to their Green Hub in Poole (not far from the Fleetsbridge Tesco roundabout). They have proposed Wednesday May 8th at 10.15/10.30am for us to visit. There is a limit of 15 people and they’ve asked for a list of names beforehand. So, if you’d definitely like to come on the visit, please could you let me know asap. I’ll let them have the list of names at the end of the week before. I’m happy to drive and give people a lift, so we might be able to get a couple of cars going, if you want to come but can’t or don’t want to drive. I’d reckon on leaving Greengage around 9.30am.
And finally, as one of the Co-op’s previous community causes, we’ve been invited to have a stall inside Swanage Co-op, to promote Greengage and also to sell some of our plants. These will take place on the second & fourth Thursday of the month from 10am – 1pm, starting from May (but not in August). We would need volunteers to man a stall, so hopefully can get 4 or 5 of us to help out. I’ve asked for one of the dates in September (if they haven’t already been taken), as that should avoid the busier summer months. I’ll let everyone know which date is confirmed when I’ve heard back from them.
I think that’s all for now.
Best wishes.
