Wittersham WI

Last Tuesday we had Kate from the Village community garden with some of her friends sharing the beginnings to date of the Village community garden. It is there for all to come and see, to help or just to sit and admire. They meet every Thursday 10.30. - 12.30 for a work party and get together. They even have home schooled youngsters volunteering and learning so much. The garden is situated at the back of the village hall. For such a small area it is packed with plants and wildlife. Open to all, anytime.

Following on from our Summer day in Canterbury where one of the speakers talked about solitary bees and bee homes. I came home took a photo of two of my bee homes and then a few days later could see that the new bees had hatched out and left the home. So pleased they are using these. Plan to get even more for the garden. First two photos with eggs inside, second two photos all hatched out.
Come along, you’ll be surprised what you can learn at the WI. Wittersham meet every first Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm in the club room of the village hall.

What a great day. Our annual East Kent federation Summer Garden day in Canterbury. Today 150 ladies had a fabulous time listening to three great speakers- Nan Eshelby telling us how to garden for pollinators and much more, Neil Franklin from Brogdale Collections and then fabulous wedding flowers from Blooming Green . They grow their own flowers on their farm so you can pick your own! All of this plus lots of great shopping.
Why wouldn’t you join the WI!

Our last meeting welcomed Jo Payton to speak on her role as our community warden for the last 20 years. She started by telling us what she doesn’t do, arrest people or issue parking tickets 😀. Over the years her role has become more diverse. She is there for us, for anyone who needs help, advice or assistance. Or even just a friendly face for those who can’t get out and need some social interaction/help with forms. Jo can be contacted on 07980 770578 . She really is there for our community.
