Capital Growth Southwark
Today my community met with all the other food growing groups in Southwark.
A great day starts with a great cake
Can you guess what kind it is?
A fantastic tour of the farm

The farm is very family friendly, there were kids everywhere.
My community made many new friends over a delicious lunch.

I thought Saturday was windy but, then came Sunday.
A gust got under my growhouse and whooosh!
I imagine for my little ones it was like a ride on Alton Towers' Oblivion
With a little bit of TLC everything was right as rain.

All of my community was quite busy today...
Rescuer
but, the real hero today was Dave
Here he is, too busy to even have a picture taken. Dave went to the garden centre this morning to pick up some emergency supplies. All very last minute, all very fabulous!
Rearranging
In order to aid my watering the community moved me around today.
Repotting
All of my little ones had outgrown their pots.
Rock
You may not know this about me but, I do enjoy a good boogie.
Orange Rock Corps Volunteering Day
Pembroke House
Sat 4th June 2011
1-5pm
This session will involve between 50-75 volunteers working on the garden and inside the lower hall. In exchange for 4 hours voluntary work, each volunteer will get a ticket to a pop music gig at Wembley.
The work outside will involve building benches, tables, trellises for the wall, a couple of raised beds, archways, a compost heap and some ladder containers. Inside, around 20-30 volunteers will be decorating plant pots and packaging them up with soil and seeds, to give out to at least 100 households in the area, as part of the one pot pledge scheme.
If you would like to participate in this one-off event, please register with the website www.orangerockcorps.co.uk , and inform Kathleen that you have done so.
If you have registered, it is essential that you turn up so that you can claim your concert ticket.
Lunch & Refreshments Provided
Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this event.

Wed May 6, 2011 - The Blue Boxes

I love how my community makes use of the council's old and disused "Blue Recycling Boxes".
And so much care goes into making sure all the plants get along with each other.
Each week I grow bigger and bigger.
