Autumnal Art Day at the Garden...
 
 
Making Bug Hotels...
 
 
And painting them...
 
 
 
 
Screen...
 
 
Printing...
 
 
Sticks and ribbons...
 
 
 
 It all sent our manager a little bit mad...






Begining November

 
Good-bye to Evening Primrose, Morning Glory
While Marigold maintain  another story
Of blooming  in the face of growing cold;
Chrysanthemums this time of year unfold;
The ladybirds are visible and close
To myriads of aphids, comatose.

Keith Pettitt.

Well, looks like we've won Community Garden of the Year at the Kent Wildlife Awards...
 
 
 

Many thanks to all the staff, volunteers, gardeners and friends of the garden who have helped us to make this such a good place.

Our friends at the wonderful Haeckels are using some of our herbs and plants...
 
 
To make Smudge Sticks...
 
 


Which are "Traditionally used for rituals that cleanse rooms with their smoke, carrying a smudge stick around a room or home is said to purify and bless that space".


 
Available now at the Haeckels shop.
