The garden has become mobile and is moving from Blogger to Wordpress: We think this an upgrade!
Here's a link - http://pembrokepocketgarden.wordpress.com
Don't worry, we have transferred all of the blogger posts so no memories are lost. Be sure to follow us on our new blog for our latest updates on green fingered fun in Walworth!
See you there!

Summer Gardening Club: Making Lavender Biscuits
Today we decided to make use of the lovely lavender plant which is in full bloom - can you see it below?
We got a recipe for lavender biscuits from the internet http://allrecipes.com/recipe/lavender-shortbread-cookies/ and got started.
Here is Ellie smelling the wonderful lavender
Here the lavender is being chopped!
And here we are all hard at work beating the mix. Nathaniel said that 'baking is hard' when he was doing this!

Summer Gardening Club
At Pembroke House
by Joseph Tang
Pembroke House Gardening Club is a
fantastic club for children who love gardening. There is always something to do
whatever the weather. There is drawing, hunting for plants, and lots more.
There are two people there, Ellie
and Kathleen, and will teach how to draw and plant flowers. The picture
below is of two special plants, and has lavender in the background. These
pictures that I have taken here are located in Pembroke Pocket Garden, where the gardening club starts. The
Gardening Club happens every Wednesday from 11am – 1pm. The gardening is just
round the corner from Tatum Street
Hannah suggested this game, at the front.
There are snacks at the
breaks and you get drinks.

Celebrating elephant in midsummer:
Thurs 21st June, 7pm-late
You are invited to celebrate the longest evening in the year by getting together to enjoy a walworth bonfire, live music, local food and conversation around the question:
Is it time to set up Transition Elephant?
Transition is an independent movement made up of local communities getting ready for climate change, peak oil and other massive changes. There are dozens of transition towns in London but currently no Transition communities in the North Southwark area.
So would we like a transition elephant? And if so, what would like it to do? Is it time to set up Transition Elephant?
