February Talk – Jane Benson 🌱

At our February meeting, Jane Benson shared the inspiring story of Wimborne Community Garden and how it came to life. She explained the context behind the project, which all stemmed from a tin of potatoes, to the trials, tribulations and sheer highs that the community has been on.

Jane spoke about her experiences of cultivating the garden and building an inclusive initiative that brought the town together. Supported by around 50 volunteers, Wimborne Community Garden had become an all-encompassing community space, demonstrating the power of gardening to connect people and strengthen the local community.

What an inspiring evening, backed by a team of inspiring people.

Fancy hearing more? We’d love to see you at our next meeting in March 🦔

September in the Garden – Jobs to Do Now 🍂

As we ease into mid September, there’s still plenty to keep green thumbs busy!

🌼 Deadheading & Pruning – Keep your late-summer flowers blooming by deadheading spent blooms. Now’s also a great time to prune back faded perennials and tidy up shrubs like lavender.

🌱 Sow for Autumn & Winter – It’s not too late to sow hardy greens like spinach, winter lettuce, and rocket for a fresh supply through the colder months.

Happy gardening! 🐝
Feel free to share what you’re up to in your own garden this week. 🌻
