REAP Gardening Group
REAP Gardening Group will be at Oakwood Farmers’ Market this February working on the Oakwood Edible Bed. To prepare and nourish the soil ready for Spring planting, as well as pruning our fruit bushes, so they flourish over the growing season. We will be sowing broad beans and early salad mixes in pots. Come along and join us and take away a pot of seeds to grow on at home. Join our growing community!

Green Tips for February
Buy a reusable mug and keep it with you. Avoid one use cups, reducing plastic.
You may already have a reusable cup, but sometimes we need more than one, so we have a cup with us whenever we really fancy a cuppa of our favourite brew! Just £3 at this Saturday's market.
