Community Art Day

We will be having our next Community Art Day on Wednesday 23rd October 10am to 2.30pm. Workshops, lunch, please come along and take part...

October catch up

We've been busy at the Garden lately...

 Painting the cabin...

Visiting the East Kent Ploughing match...

And then there was the late summer open day...

 Teas...

Coffees...

 Woodworking...

 Livestock...

 Music...

And lots of people - a good time was had by all.

A September Poem

September's turning cool; the summers done.

A penny for the time the sun has shone.

The people keep on coming through the gate-

The trees discard their twigs on the estate.

(Some windy weather gusting in the leaves)

The Thanet fields disgorging all their sheaves-

With veg'tables and fruit the season's full,

And Winter 'round the corner - feel the pull.

The temp'rature has dropped within a week-

There's no doubt that the warmth is past its peak

The Garden Gate has been featured by uber-cool  The Curio in Margate. This can be seen in last Friday's Thanet Gazette (23rd August) in the homes section, or there are more pictures on the Curio website.

Some Summery Shots...

August - some rhyming couplets

August! A time to catch the baby snail

Before he has a chance to leave a trail

of holes in leaves, and climbing up the wall,

He makes a getaway before the Fall.

It's June that is the mating time for these -

And broken stems - for them the size of trees

So - what we need - the beak of Mister Thrush

Who with his rhythmic tapping breaks the hush,

So meantime Ben and Keith can take their pick

Removing them from site, complete the Trick.
