Join us for a glass of mulled wine in Abbeys Gardens to Celebrate the end of the gardening season and a successful first year of ‘What will the harvest be?’ at 5PM on Saturday the 5th of December 2009.

The last garden club sessions with Chris took place at the end of November and Chris will join us on the day for a final farewell drink.

… However there is always more work to do and we will be on site digging compost trenches for the fruit trees in the morning from 10 am onwards. As always everyone is warmly welcome to join in and help out.

The Friends of Abbey Gardens will have its monthly ‘catch up meeting’ at 2 pm in the Cabin to which you are warmly welcome if you want to find out more about the Friends Group and the plans for the next growing season.

Behind the scenes activities have continued and plans are falling into place, which include the planting of Fruit trees against the back wall, grass seeding on the large pathways and the vacant triangle facing the street, fixing the fence and installing a new gate close to the cabin as well as a brand new honesty stall. All made possible through the Big Lottery, Community Spaces Grant which we managed to secure earlier in the year.

Also available on Saturday, hot off the press will be our brand new set of Abbey Gardens / What Will the Harvest be? postcards.

Looking forward to see you all on Saturday.
