This Saturday, March 18th 1-2.30pm we're very pleased to be hosting a community fruit bush exchange in Scotch Quarry Park.
One of the joys of a community garden is that you discover how, with a minimum of effort and skill, it is really easy to make new plants for free. And that's exactly what we've been doing in Scotch Quarry over the past few years. As a result, our nursery bed is jam packed with plants - some of which we can use in the garden and some of which we just don't have space for. The good news is that, even if we can't use all the plants that we grow, other local gardens can make use of them. This Saturday, we're going to be teaming up with two other local community gardens, Christ Church Lancaster and the EcoHub up at the University, so that they can take all the fruit bushes that we no longer have room for in the garden. So it's an exciting time as our plant babies go on to loving new homes!
If you'd like to join us to help out in the great plant swap, you'll be very welcome. Here's to a fruitful summer in every sense of the word!
