Ok everyone its that of year when we need to look forward and do some planning

Spen Shed is thinking of doing some workshop in the children's holidays, pls let us know if there's any interest in doing one, don't know what the theme will be as yet and thats where you guys come in.

Maybe we could do one just for the children to come in and make/stick and colour some pre- cut items from our laser machine, we'll also have colouring pages to make some budding artist to use glue, glitter and paints.

We have plenty of craft materials that children can use to cut, stick and make their master peice to take home and of course snacks and juice will be provided free of charge.

Then maybe we can do one for the adults separately on a different day if required....more info will be shared once enough interest is gathered.

Let's me have your thoughts and interest.

Good evening everyone...todays the day we finally have some plants we've personally grown ourselves in our polytunnel...the people who grew these aren't gardeners but who just like pottering around as it gets them out of the house so pls don't be too judgemental lol....

Succulent plants are £1.50 each

Strawberry Plants (single) £4 each and as you can see the they've are already got fruits on.

Double Strawberry in planter

All the money taken go back into our funding so we can start some more and help people keep out of the house to stop them been isolated.

Pls contact us via messenger if you'd like to purchase any.

A few items for sale ....contact us for prices

16/05/2026

Good morning everyone yes it that time again when we're asking for help...we have our polytunnel on the go now to sell our plants when they are ready..

We are thinking of making a cart to carry the items from the polytunnel to the top of the car park where they will be on sale.

The cart will allow us to transport them easy so we're looking for some old bike wheels preferably the same size with tyres making it easy to pull through gravel.

If anyone can help we'd very much appreciate it.

Either contact us via email [email protected],
