A strong theme of creativity and maintenance at Growers Row this week, with repurposed cupboards, awesome new signage for the two polytunnels, and repairs to timber borders on a few garden beds.

Of course, we also gardened, splitting and spreading plants, weeding and watering, tidying the roundabout, planting winter salad and elephant garlic - and visitors left with rocket, lettuce, chard, herbs, and even a few very long parsnips!

Join us, open every Wednesday 10am - 3pm

Contemplating the cost and value of sending Christmas cards this year?

Thinking about the environment, the paper, and the carbon footprint?

Donate to Rutland Community Fridges instead of sending cards. Put your money toward a valuable cause. Follow this link, donorbox.org/rutland-community-fridge-donation. 🎁 https://donorbox.org/rutland-community-fridge-donation

Every donation helps keep this project running and sustainable.

Growers Row looks very tidy as we prepare the beds for winter, make way for winter salad plants, and still pick beautiful blooms; people are taking bunches home.

It's not all about gardening; there are other ways to get involved: upkeep and maintenance, and the very important part of chatting over a cuppa or at lunchtime in the polytunnel lounge.

Join us, open every Wednesday 10am - 3pm

We were in the garden yesterday making willow bird feeders and fat balls!

Did you know that some small birds can loose up to a third of their body weight over a cold night? Providing food, consistently over the winter months can really help wildlife.

Join us for more seasonal Wild Workshops,
