Volunteer gardeners at the Edible Hedge, 21st September 2025
Our latest Get Growing gardening morning kept us entertained in the sunshine as we puzzled over various plants in the edible beds in Hollingdean Park. We worked along the Edible Hedge on the fence line near the Forest Garden doing a mixture of ‘chop and drop’ (that’s uprooting non-flowering annual weeds then leaving them on the soil surface to mulch) and plain old weeding out things like bind weed. It was satisfying to clear around our precious edibles and rediscover a few things that had got a bit lost. As it was Apple Day we had to have delicious home-made Apple Cake at break time. Thanks Kate!
