Thank you to Hollingdean Community Centre for having us and to our Growing Hollingdean volunteers. Our plant and seed swap (or donation) tables where very busy and successful. Polly our Growing Hollingdean volunteer for Grow Food in Small Spaces helped locals plant up 20 pots of herbs and salad and taken home for free. Lots of smiling faces all round.

These were provided by Beth Nicholls from Sussex Uni with support from Brighton Permaculture Trust. After a cold start, it turned into a beautiful sunny morning and several bees came out to see what we were up to! The orchard is looking stunning as the blossom starts to come out – why not visit and have a picnic.
