We started sorting out our composting area. We're hoping to get more composting going so we can produce some of our compost on site.
More on this soon 🤞

This is a fantastic story of the land in this country and how it has been used and fought for over the centuries. Anyone interested in local food production and the rights of common people to feed themselves, will find this fascinating. It is an often untold history of this country told in song and stories.

Coming up next week !!

Join the next Learning Network!

🧑‍🌾 Does your council want to make exercise opportunities more attractive and accessible? Community food growing opportunities would help with that!
🍎 Does your council have policies to support local food economies? How about making more land available for food growing!
🐛 Does your council have a goal to link up existing green infrastructure to better support biodiversity? A Right to Grow would help the community deliver that!

Come along to the next Learning Network to find out how it's possible to demonstrate the positive impacts a Right to Grow through the lens of already-existing local policies. It's time to win hearts and minds! Book your spot here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/how-the-right-to-grow-can-help-councils-meet-their-goals-tickets-1388189956529?aff=oddtdtcreator

We harvested limeflowers for tea with my friend's daughters and colourful petals to as toys.
