BABY IT’S COLD OUTSIDE

The squash arch is blossoming into something spectacular – we can’t wait for you to see it in all its glory.

THE SQUASH ARCH AND TEA23
Today, we made significant progress on the squash arch, which will maximise our growing space in this bustling area that sees plenty of wheelbarrow traffic. With the ground previously leveled, today we measured out the path, placed two of the six pallet collars, laid down cardboard, woodchipped the path, and began filling the first bed with our homemade, nutrient-rich compost. Our creative team of volunteers plan to weave willow boughs to form the arch – we can’t wait to see the stunning result!

And, in a burst of spring beauty, we’ve planted delicate snowdrops along…
