A video about the garden and interview with our Charlotte

Our coordinator Charlotte was interviewed by BBC Cambridge on 11 September at 12.15. I have contacted the BBC to find out when they post the link. In the meantime, you can watch this video from That's Cambridge.



We are trying to spread the word about the garden among local residents, so far two talks are planned, one at St Augustine's Church, CB4, and one at the Chesterton Garden Club. Information will be posted when it's released by the organisers. The meeting hut project is progressing, our representatives met the City Council to share the plans by architect Alex and the engineer Simon.


Back to gardening, after long weeks of drought we got some rain so the grass morphed from straw into green and luscious growth. A cut with our solar-powered mower is on the list of tasks. Aside weeding and harvesting a variety of veg, young strawberry plants were bedded last week.
Have a lovely week and if you want to join us, click here for more info.



The arrival of the rain means we have a reduced watering rota - it has not been very wet yet and seedlings in the polytunnel need to be attended to. We are growing winter lettuce while cucumbers, basil and tomatoes are still being harvested indoors.
