Help us with our exciting new project - a community garden at St John's Walton on the land adjacent to the church between Matlock Road and Walton Back Lane. Typically there will be work parties on the land on Saturdays between 10:00 and Noon. Please bring suitable boots, garden gloves, and any tools you may have that could be used for the planned jobs.
If you are interested please phone Steve Fisher on 07510 144024. Further details can be found on the Community Garden Project page. We would love to see you getting involved!
Events coming up:
Saturday 9th Aug: Open Day 11am - 3pm
Saturday 8th Nov: Bonfire Event in the evening
Saturday 6th Dec: Early evening “Carols around the Tree” with the Holymoorside Brass Band
Research Project about the Garden
Our curate, Jo, is currently working towards a PhD and her time with the community garden forms part of her research. If you would like to know more about this research you can read her information sheet here. Alternatively, she is always willing to chat about her role as researcher too.
How would you or your group like to cultivate a raised bed in our new community garden?
We have a number of raised beds for you to use.
You can grow anything you like (that is legal!). We are putting in a foundation of compost but you will need to provide some topsoil (maybe we can share bags with other raised bed users).
If you are interested please phone Steve Fisher 07510 144024 for further information.
