GREENFIELDS ALLOTMENTS

Sunday 25th May at 11am the Allotment gates opened for the Plant Sale and Open Day, always a special time to be able to enter this world of nature, peace and kindness.  Polytunnels and green pathways criss/cross the site and the opportunity to meet the gardeners and see the skill and energy invested in this beautiful space is much appreciated by the visitors.  With its mass of produce and planting,  from daisies, bronze fennel, early beans, cauliflowers and comfrey to an absolute wealth of edible and simply beautiful planting. 

 

A lazy dragonfly fluttered by as gardeners chatted to visitors keen to hear their tips and stories.  

​

From life-long gardeners to new start-ups, parents and grandparents inspiring the younger generations, the Allotment Holders are always generous with their time and tips. 

​

A few of those planting tips are here:

- Don't worry if it fails!

- Think about the time involved before committing to an allotment

- Involvement with an allotment helps educate the children about food sources

- It's so satisfying to grow your own produce....

And so we realised that today.  Already looking forward to the Autumn Open Day - with big thanks to Lesley and the Greenfields Gardeners.
