Join the Seed Harvest at the Second Urban Seed Day

What Will The Harvest Be?
Come & join us on Saturday September 27th for our second URBAN SEED DAY …
http://www.somewhere.org.uk/seed_day
We will be gathering the seeds from the wild flowers grown at Abbey Gardens this year – some we’ll be keeping for next years Harvest Garden but some we’ll be giving away. So, if you fancy a bed of wildflowers in your own garden or you’ve spotted a unloved patch in your local environment that could do with cheering up, this is the event for you.
Nina Pope and the Friends of Abbey Gardens group will be in the garden on Saturday morning from 10.00 -12.00. As well as collecting seeds we’ll obviously be happy to tell you more about What Will The Harvest Be? and how our plans for the garden are shaping up.
We also have a few packets of seeds left (from the wonderful Chiltern Seeds) to give away to anyone who wants to get planting now for next season in the Harvest Garden. If you take some away on Saturday you can bring them on in your own garden (or just on a windowsill) ready for next spring.
If you have seeds gathered from your own gardens/plots do bring some along to swap.
You might like to make an East-London afternoon of it and join us for the Hackney Wick Festival afterwards, it’s an interesting walk from Abbey Gardens to ‘the Wick’ and makes for a full East End double day out. Visit the website: www.hackneywickfestival.org.uk
