February the 3rd: SOUP-er Sunday at Common Growth

Common Growth — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:17:37 +0000

Hi Everyone,

The dark and miserable month of January is nearly over and slowly our daylight hours are increasing again.Yeah! To celebrate this we are starting February with another SOUP-er Sunday on the 3rd of February! Louise from Grow Wild will be sharing some delicious home made soup with us and if weather permits do a little cooking demo as well. Everyone is welcome to join us from 2-5pm! The attached photo was taken at a previous Soup-er Sunday. We are keen to continue to share food and conversation at Common Growth – and we’re looking for more people to get involved with the cooking, sharing and the gardening, so do come along some time!

As ever there are plenty of tasks to get involved in at Common Growth, such as finishing the building of the greenhouse, building steps, digging the pond, and constructing the pergola. There is also still some ‘Elephant Garlic’ to plant – I know a bit late for garlic, but better than never (I’m not sure that’s a phrase in English – I’m translating from Dutch!)

Hope to see you on Sunday.

Anniek
On behalf of Common Growth

P.S. Do make sure your come prepared for mud and rain! (I’m not sure I’m selling it here, but MetCheck said only Light Rain for Sunday afternoon, so no excuses!)

If you are interested to read the Common Growth ‘end of season’ steering group meeting minutes, please click here! Common Growth minutes oct 2012

We try to keep the garden open on Sunday afternoons (2-5pm) throughout the winter months, but please accept our apologies if the garden is closed due to bad / cold weather…bear with us!

We are planning plenty of ‘building activities’ in the garden over the winter period, and are looking for people who can help out building decking and a path, putting together a greenhouse and digging a second wildlife pond. So get in touch if you want to help out!

See you soon,

You might have noticed work is going on behind the wall at the Hill Station. For those of you who haven’t managed a sneaky peak, this photo shows the lovely new concrete floor that has now been laid. Depending on how the curing process goes we are hoping part of our Annual General Party (and meeting) next Friday Jan 20 can take place in this emerging new space.

As you might have seen, something is going on in front of the Hill Station cafe…. still open for business as usual but in the spirit of constant improvement…

(first the toilet then the serving bar and now the deck… and we have further plans, funding permitting)

…the latest community team effort has been to dig up the asphalt in front of the Hill Station.

This will be followed by decking and planters with apple trees… more volunteers still needed, just drop us a line to join in the fun. Get fit, learn new skills, meet your neighbours and help create something beautiful!
