Christmas Dinner

Sprouts... 

 

 

Yeah, lots of sprouts... 

 

 

Everyone waiting... 

 

 

Patiently... 

 

 

For dinner on its way... 

 

 

Some not so patient... 

 

 

 Some just couldn't wait...

 

 

But a good time was had by all...

 

The leaves have fallen from the trees; and cold

Is creeping through the cracks, the sun is gold -

South-West horizon sunset, mid-December.

Tranquillity and Peace we can remember,

Amid the calling gulls and flapping birds -

Relaxing in my chair, I deal with words.

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.  

Art Day

Does what it says on the poster. All welcome...

Kent Wildlife Awards

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.
