Panton Hill Community Garden Update
|
|
|
There has been a lot of progress in the garden at Panton Hill Neighbourhood House, all thanks to our new Garden Coordinator Melissa. The group have been busy rejuvenating the veggie beds by topping them up with compost and planting a green manure crop to get them ready to plant out.
If you would like to join Melissa each week and help the garden thrive, drop in on a Tuesday morning between 9am-11am with your gardening gloves! All ages and experience welcome. Melissa is a qualified Horticulturist and can answer any questions you might have about gardening.
