About Exeter Community Garden

Ideas Book

Following our last Committee meeting, we have now got an 'Ideas Book' in the polytunnel - and this is for your use.  If you have an ideas you want to share, suggestions for what to do or grow or thoughts about any aspect of the garden and the way we run/manage it - write it down in the book.
We will regularly check the ideas and suggestions so the most popular ones can be put into practise.
One change you may notice at the Garden as you come in is the loss of the small hawthorn tree by the gate to the raised bed area (see link below to a photo), and this has started a conversation about what to do with it.

Do we:

  1. just get rid of it as waste wood,
  2. incorporate it into the dead hedge by the top polytunnel,
  3. use what we can of the trunk as a wooden stake for something,
  4. try and make a feature of the trunk, or
  5. something else?

One suggestion is to use it for some wood carving which can be displayed somewhere, and several in our WhatsApp group have supported this.
So - ideas from you in the Ideas Book please.

winter wassail

Also, a quick reminder that we will have the Winter Wassail on Wednesday 14th January, starting after the usual gardening session.  A good opportunity to come and drive all the evil spirits out of the orchard so we have another good fruit crop - it seemed to have worked this year with a record apple crop.

membership

We operate as an open group, so anyone can come along and join in.  We have a Facebook Group - though this is very little used now and an active WhatsApp group.  However, if you want to be a full member and able to vote on issues at the Annual General Meeting, you will need to be on the Member's Mailing List - there's a form on the website, or you can send me an email or WA message with your details and I can add you.  As with all emails, you can amend your details or unsubscribe at any time.
