Autumn planting at the Edible Roundabout

We had a lot of fun picking up leaves for compost and planting onions, garlic, mustard spinach (komatsuna) and peas. We also tried new labels made from slates.

Margaret Wright Community Orchard

Oct8 by Toni

This orchard was planted in 2013 in honour of local Councillor Margaret Wright. Abbey People took over the management of the site in 2014, and are developing a community gardening project based at the site.

Abbey People, in collaboration with Growing Spaces, are planning to manage the site using the principles of Forest Gardening, developing the site for wildlife and local residents to enjoy.

If you would like to be involved, please contact info@abbeypeople.org.uk for more information.
