SHOUT OUT TO THE VOLUNTEERS
Let’s take a moment to give a big shout-out to the Rooted volunteers… From your side of the screen, it might appear well-organised. Behind the scenes we have just one blackboard with a few suggestions chalked down. It’s a certain kind of magic that happens. A group of like-minded people come together, guided by hope and happiness in their hearts, and amazing things happen. It’s a seamless synchronicity that doesn’t rely on schedules or spreadsheets—just a tonne of passion and determination. Today we were blessed with blue skies, bad jokes, plenty of laughter, and an abundance of enthusiasm for the months ahead. You can view our upcoming sessions calendar here…

Just need to empty those old crates and transport them over. The mud kitchen and bug hotel got a fresh new look, and we even managed to plant our early and…

JANUARY IS THRIVING WITH ACTIVITY!
January may be languishing, but we’re thriving in productivity here on the plot! Our compost game is on point with the compost committee ensuring it’s quick, efficient, and producing that rich, crumbly black gold. Thanks to this magic soil and mild temps, our greenhouse is bursting with life this January! Our new compost bay is almost complete—just waiting on the roof—and the first bay is already hard at work. Soon, we’ll be moving the old compost crates to the Kitchen Plot for even more garden goodness. Today, we planted kale and radish, fortified our bean trellis, and prepped more beds for planting. The future’s looking green and glorious! Staying Connected…
