At this time of year:
Spring is here. More and more flowers are appearing everywhere. Trees are blossoming and every gardener is filled with great hopes and optimism for the new growing season. Look out for the wild garlic we planted in the woodland alongside the path by the Wyresdale Road entrance. Wild garlic is a great ingredient in the kitchen. Add it at the last minute to many dishes (omelettes, pasta sauces, liven up other vegetables, etc.) to get a great garlic flavour. Or you can make pesto with wild garlic, parmesan cheese, pine nuts and olive oil.
Next month’s activities:
Next month’s activities will include turning over the existing compost heaps and then mulching some of the beds with the compost at the bottom of the heaps, adding chicken manure pellets to the beds, making plant signs and starting off a new area for growing comfrey and New Zealand flax.
Want to get involved?
We normally meet up here at 10am upon the first Sunday of each month. Next month we will be meeting upon
Sunday April 2nd from 10am to 1pm.
We always welcome new volunteers for the gardening. However, if you aren't sure whether gardening is for you there are other ways that you could contribute to Scotch Quarry. You may want an outlet for your artistic side such as painting plant signs, making mosaics, making sculptures, writing poetry or making any other art installation you can think of for displaying in the garden? You may be a budding photographer and want to photograph the park through the seasons for a public show? You may have ideas for how the community garden, play area or the park can be improved? You may have ideas for events that could be put on? We always want ideas. You may want to bring cakes, biscuits or other refreshments along to keep our volunteers going on a Sunday morning gardening session? You may be a social media nut and would love to get Scotch Quarry a higher profile online? Maybe there is another way that makes use of your talents that I haven't listed to make Scotch Quarry even more beautiful? Let us know.
