April Poem

Pond

 

There is a spot at the Garden Gate

Of which we're very fond

With life abounding here of late -

It is of course our pond.

 

This Winter was not cold enough

To cover it with ice;

Disturbed a little by a puff

Of wind - effect is "nice".

 

Surrounded by a wooden fence

And verge for several plants

To lean and watch when we are tense

And merge into a trance.

 

And then, behold! It's feeding time

for fish both black and gold

Emerged in Spring from Winter clime

Survived the Winter's cold.

Our recent Open Day was a roaring success with over 600 quid taken on the day.

Big thanks to everyone who came along...

 

 

As usual there were refreshments aplenty...

 

As well as Art Cakes...

 

Which somebody seemed to enjoy...

 

We had a slightly scary performance poet...

 

And we built a lion...

 

Our next Open Day will be May 24th with lots of plants for sale - details coming soon...

Did someone say tulips?

Yeah, we got tulips alright...

 

Come and see for yourself this Saturday 2 - 5pm...

Bloomin' heck - Early Spring Open Day...

The Daffodils are in bloom and the Garden's looking good

Come and see for yourself at the Early Spring Open Day and Poetry Weekend...

Last year we planted several hundred Tulip bulbs...

 And we're hoping that they will all be opening up soon...

So, weather and blooms permitting, we will be having an Early Spring Open Day on Saturday April 12th 2pm till 5pm

A bright and sunny start - the month of March

It's time for buds to form on spruce and larch

The birds that soar and glide look out for food

And seagulls with their calls enhance the mood

The mornings cool and brisk - they promise much

If coming season could be full of such.

We humans fill the space with loud machines,

Electric tools and trains and other means,

Improving the surroundings our desire;

The action is dynamic, 'till we tire.

Keith Pettitt.
