News from Granton Community Gardeners
It’s now August, and that means nearly time for our:
ANNUAL SUMMER BBQ
Saturday 11th August, FREE Food served from 1pm, at our new gardening HQ:
10 Wardieburn Road. (next door to Royston Wardieburn Community Centre)
You’re all invited!
Since our last email update, a lot of people have been working very hard in the gardens (especially watering!) and lots of the crops have been flourishing in the heatwave.
Yesterday we harvested lots of beetroot bigger than tennis balls that we only planted out as tiny seedlings 6 weeks ago.
COMMUNITY MEALS UPDATE:
Community meals are continuing every Tuesday at 5pm, but please note: for the month of AUGUST these will be held at the community garden (10 Wardieburn Road) instead of the church. This will be a bit more of a BBQ/picnic feel, but still a great chance to come and eat with neighbours, family and friends. All very welcome!
Food is FREE/donation/help with washing up etc..
If anyone would like to volunteer to help out with setting up or running the BBQ or community meal events, please give us a shout.
GARDENING DROP IN SESSIONS:
These are continuing, EVERY TUESDAY AND SATURDAY from 11am.
All welcome, no gardening expertise necessary. Meet at new garden: 10 Wardieburn Road. On Tuesdays there will be someone around all day, so you can work in the garden and then relax at the community meal, or come and go as you like..
We’ve been picking large amounts of soft fruit, and our heritage wheat has ripened super early this year. Give us a shout if you’d like to help harvest it..
Hope you’re all well,
