We had our first gardening club of the year at 37 Lawrence Way today! It was cold, but we still had enough courage to sow many things in pots for the coming season 🙂
  
We even harvested some spinach!
Winter garden at our Daily Bread Space
Even if it’s winter, we still have a lot growing at our Daily Bread Space. Come to see the spinach, beans and winter wheat seedlings. And also all the herbs!
Art workshop exhibition
The Grove school organized an exhibition to showcase all the wonderful artworks the kids produced, inspired by our Daily Bread Growing Space. They also came to visit the space and discovered the art sculptures made by Jayne. What a great project it was!
 
Pumpkin festival Swap and Share
We had a great time at the fresh produce swap and share stall at the Pumpkin Festival Farmer’s Market. Thanks a lot to Dave for the giant pumpkin and other vegetables and to all other growers who shared (and swapped) their produce! We not only managed to give the full pumpkin bit by bit, but we also had fun giving it a funny face.
  
October gardening club at 37 Lawrence Way
We were again so lucky as the sun was here for our October gardening club! We removed the tomato plants, did some weeding and sowed winter wheat, cress, spring onion and much more.

Food Swap and Share
We had a wonderful day at Daily Bread’s 25th Birthday, swapping and giving vegetables. Many great stalls and the sun was even here most of the day!
Thanks a lot to everyone who was involved and gave food surplus from their gardens and allotments. It’s was so encouraging to see many people being enthousiastic about giving and sharing food, and about all Transition projects.
  
  
We also managed to give the giant pumpkin, piece by piece 🙂
Stall at Kettle’s Yard event
We had so much fun at Kettle’s Yard Open House Gathering at North Cambridge Academy! There were many people, despite the rain, with whom we had great discussions about what we do at Growing Spaces 🙂
  
Our next event will be the Fresh Produce Swap and Share on 30th September at Daily Bread. We hope to see many of you for this special day!
September Gardening Club
We had a wonderful weather for our Gardening club at 37 Lawrence Way! We prepared pots and sowed herbs for everyone to take back home. Everything is growing so well in this garden and we could even harvest some rhubarb and herbs.
Our next gardening club will be on 7th October. Save the date, as there will be plenty of tomatoes to harvest!
  
  
Gardening club at 37 Lawrence Way
We had a wonderful sunny time for our second gardening club at 37 Lawrence Way!
We filled another raised beds in which we planted beans and sowed kale and onion. It was also so nice to see how what we planted last time had grown so beautifully.
Thanks to everyone for this great moment! Our next gardening club is on Saturday 2nd September at 11am. Save the date!
   
    
   
  
New edible garden at 37 Lawrence Way
We created a new edible garden at the North Cambridge Community Partnership to help them relaunch their gardening club.
Several giant raised beds were waiting for soil and plants to make this garden flourishing and inspire future gardeners. We had many families joining this wonderful event and they all enjoyed filling the raised beds in a permaculture way, plant many herbs and vegetable, saw seeds and even harvest onions!
The next gardening club is Saturday 12 August at 11am. Keep the date!
  
  
This garden looks so great, I’m sure we will all enjoy resting under the tree at our next gardening club session 🙂
