Potting On and Planting Out at The Green Patch

We've also been busy potting on and planting out at The Green Patch

Bessie's babes have been laying eggs

and rewarding themselves with a little fresh greenery!

Growing Wild - See How We've Been Doing!

We were lucky enough to receive Grow Wild Kits  

here's how our seeds have been growing

The View From Here - May 2015

Lucy introduced us to baby Woody!

We all had the chance to care for some lambs.

We were busy baking.

In the  raised beds leafy greens were springing up.

new potatoes were growing quietly under ground.

We can't wait to eat them!

The Sunflowers were planted out.

and Spring flowers put on a great show

A Gift and a Garden

On a grey, rainy morning at The green Patch, 

Carole received a message from a friend 

who works in a local Garden Centre

"We have some plants that are past their best,

 do you think that The Green Patch 

might be able to use them?"

Carole and Nigel went to investigate 

and returned with a wonderful collection of 

past their best (for this season) plants, herbs, 

strawberry plants and bird feeders.

Such kindness totally banished the grey 

clouds and Carole and Nigel completely 

forgot that they were damp from head to toe! 

As a thank you for the contact 

lovely Green Patch volunteers planted some 

tubs and containers to make a little garden 

by The Mollie. Many of the plants have been 

planted in the Bee Garden, whilst others are in 

new borders around the site.

Sharing, creating and growing together helps build communities, supports wellbeing, makes opportunities to create new friendships and a brighter future for us all. The Green Patch and the Avondale Grange Ward are special places and we feel so lucky to be working and connecting with the community during our View From Here project.
