Apple Wassail marks end of winter at North Edinburgh Arts

Friday 3 February: 2.30 – 4pm

The garden, North Edinbugh Arts

APPLE WASSAIL!

Join us at the NEA garden for traditional end of winter festivities 

Traditionally at this time of year, people’s thoughts turn to the end of winter and the coming of spring. We’ll be doing our bit to encourage a good harvest year in the North Edinburgh Arts garden by holding our annual apple wassail on

Friday 3rd Feb, 2,30 -4.00pm.

We’ll have wassailing songs led by the Timebank Temptations, mulled apple juice and other refreshments and of course, the wassail parade around the garden to scare off evil spirits and encourage a good fruit harvest for the coming year.

For more information, call 0131 315 2151, e-mail garden@northedinburgharts.co.uk or drop into our centre.

See you there!

Granton Community Gardeners to share their bumper harvest harvest feast

Weather’s turning wintry, time to gather inside and have some hot food!

YOU’RE ALL INVITED!

Friday 20 November, 6pm Royston Wardieburn Community Centre

No need to bring anything, but message us if you’d like to help organise, set up or bring food. (and RSVPs are helpful for numbers)

Granton Community Gardeners committee member Tom Kirby reports: 

Most things have grown really well in the gardens this year, and there’s been a great regular team of local residents, we’ve all learned a lot from each other!  We still meet up every Tuesday and Saturday at 11am (unless weather is really bad!) at the community garden on the corner of Boswall Parkway and Wardieburn Road. Anyone is very welcome to join us, no prior gardening experience needed!

This Saturday (weather permitting) we’ll be sowing the first of our trial plots of winter wheat!  We are participating in a project organised by Bread Matters, to try growing small scale plots of varieties of wheat that used to be grown in Scotland before cereal production became so industrialised (and before issues like gluten intolerances were such a problem).

We’re already making plans for next year, but it’s good to take some time to relax and celebrate what’s been achieved.

Hope you’re well and keeping warm,
