Today we found this beautiful moth - do you know what type it is? 🤔🧐 🦋

Moths are excellent pollinators and very helpful in the garden. The Butterfly Conservation butterfly conservation trust have great ideas on plants for your garden to encourage more moths!

Today we celebrated our first ripe tomato of the season. It's early this year! We are not sure of the variety as the label doesn't match the tomato 😂

There were seven volunteers staying for soup at lunchtime today so we chopped it into seven tiny pieces and savoured each one 😋

Soon our veg stall will be overflowing with tomatoes! See you for veggies next Saturday from 11am until 1pm.

In the meantime if you'd like to give us a hand and volunteer, send us an email [email protected]

Sneak peak for Saturday veg stall, your last chance to get some of our spare tomato plants. Ready for planting into protected spaces e.g. greenhouse or polytunnel.

Veggies are still limited at this time of year but we have lots of lettuce and spinach and hopefully a few rare cucumbers 🥒🤞just drop in for a chat and a look around 😎☀️

Donations are welcome to support the charity but they are not essential. Pay what you wish and help us to get veg to as many Dundee folk as we can 🌱🌱🌱

From 11am until 1pm we will be hanging out at the stall next to our building at Campy Growers 🌳

We've been having slug trouble at Campy - they're nibbling a lot of our young seedlings.

🥕 Carrots don't usually like being moved around and it's best to sow them directly. BUT we saw a good idea to try them in seed snails and plant the seedlings in trenches so we are going to try it, otherwise we might not have any carrots this year with SLUGAGEDDON.

Watch this space to see how it goes. So far they've germinated well and no sign of the slugs! 💪

Lovely people coming to get some veg, chat about gardening, enquire about volunteering and having a wander in the garden. Oh and the best part? Sharing recipes ☀️💚
We are running the veg stall every Saturdays between 11am and 1pm at with a selection of vegetables, herbs and fruits grown by volunteers with organic principles.

Last week we ran a cooking session with Sew Much More , a local group based in Lochee who runs sewing session. We had spinach pancakes with fresh salad, minestrone soup, mint cordial and dessert in a jar. Quick and delicious !

Soon, they will start a project to cook with families and Campy Growers will provide fresh and seasonal vegetables. 🥳😃
Do you know or run a cooking group and would like to be supported with some vegetables or cooking ideas? We would love to hear from you.
💚 Let's spread the love for fresh, organically grown and local produce
