South Molton Community Garden News

by Rebecca Blackman

Our Thursday sessions at the garden recently have been very cold and for various reasons, only a handful of the regular team have been able to attend. We opted to focus on short bursts of gardening each week and are working on an area we call the ‘Willy-Nilly Garden’ (right).

This is a place the whole team can contribute to and add plants wherever they wish. We especially love the height of the planting in this part of the garden and the randomness somehow ties together brilliantly every year. It makes it all the more special.

We’ve been clearing the paths, removing some of the long grass from around the plants and generally tidying up until the cold and/or darkness sends us home. We’ll continue over the winter in preparation for springtime.

New members are welcome! If you’d like to join us, visit the garden at the top of the Sheep Fair Field on a Thursday, 2-3pm (weather permitting). Alternatively, see our website: southmoltoncommunitygarden.co.uk or Facebook @southmoltoncommunitygarden
