Friends of Abbey Gardens

After a great deal of hard work and planning by all involved the Harvest festival is finally over and what a day it was. It turned out to be stunning weather, the gardens were looking great and it seemed to be a fun day for everyone. There was a large turn out (about 150) including most of the regulars, a strong contingent of local councillors and many new faces visiting the site for the first time. It was a fantastic atmosphere and it really demonstrated what a special site and project this is. Sam from Moro plus helpers turned out some excellent scoff, largely from the produce on the site. The fiercely competed vegetable sculpture and cake competitions seemed to be a real hit and the honesty and tea and cake stalls were equally popular. All in all, it was a very successful event which will hopefully be one of many more to come.

The weather was great and there was a really good turn-out

The honesty stall was a real success, almost everything went
