We will be having lunch at Abbey Gardens next Saturday 17 July at 1pm. We have decided to advance this nationwide event and have lunch as part of our regular gardening session.

We would like to ask everyone to bring food to share. We will get the BBQ going so feel free to bring anything you would like to cook. We have lots of potatoes and onions to make potato salad and lettuce for the green stuff. If you are lucky we will still have some artichokes left. Any contributions of cakes for pudding will be greatly appreaciated.

We hope to see you on Saturday

A magnificent haul of artichokes on a glorious gardening day: One globe had flowered, we had a tasting of artichokes that were ready to cook and there was a trug-full for the honesty stall.
