Thank you to the volunteers for a wonderful day
Thank you for bringing your plants to swap, sell or buy, on Saturday 27th April 2025. Hollingdean Community Centre was the place to enjoy plants with like-minded people-full of smiling faces, plant swapping and donations and buying indoor and outdoor plants. And plenty of chat about growing!
Thank you to those who donated cake and their time as well. And thanks to Carlotta for making us a delicious 5th Anniversary cake, covered in flowers, just right for the occasion.
This year’s plant selection was fantastic wildflowers, cottage garden plants and plenty of veg, from artichokes to pumpkins. There was something for everyone, as well as plenty of free advice from our volunteers on what there was to choose from, where to plant and how to look after them.
Thank you to Marc Stenham of Rodmell Forest Garden for the interesting talk on growing a low – maintenance Food Forest by working with nature and building up the soil fertility and resilience. And for answering all our questions. It has inspired us in creating our own Food Forest in the Park.
More thank you’s
Thanks also to our friends of the Repair Cafe for teaching us how to take care of our tools and keep them sharp and fit for gardening.
Thank you to Amos for donating young plants from his allotment, a large tray of young healthy vegetables plants came from Roedale Allotments (RAGS). Thank you Samson for the great photos.
