There's been a long hiatus during winter but this last Wednesday we had an amazing working bee at the Margate Community Gardens ! A group of energetic parents and children from home educating families volunteered their time to come and w**d the beds, dress them, and then plant some crops. We had potatoes, tomatoes, corn, zucchinis, strawberries and other crops were put in.

A big thank you to everyone involved!

If you're reading this and would like to join the community garden please message us. Al peopl with all levels of experience are welcome!

This Sunday is national Community Garden day. We were going to have a working bee and open day but the weather forecast is for a good drop of rain! So we're not committing at this stage. However I will be going down tomorrow, Thursday, to do some work. Feel free to join me and give a hand or drop in and say hello. We still have beds available so please get in touch if you are interested!

Thank you to all who came and helped at the working bee last week. The Margate Community Gardens are looking much the better for the effort! Thank you to those who contributed seedlings too. Now we have some potatoes in, the corn has started to sprout, the pumpkins too, some zucchinis are in and also a number of flower seedlings have been planted. Looking forward to our next working bee!
In the meantime, if anyone is interested in joining or having a garden bed to grow their own crop please get in touch.
