Let's go digging!

As spring is just around the corner we are very excited about the Big Dig this year: in March, over 100 gardens accross the UK will welcome volunteers to get ready for the growing seasons from seed sowing to mulching and building raised beds.

The Allotment garden is part of the day, and we will welcome people to work on Saturday March 22nd- if you would like to join us, sign up here: http://www.bigdig.org.uk/london/.

We will be moving some material, clearing up an area, sowing seeds, planting seedlings and give the garden a head start for the coming season. Oh, and there will be biscuits, tea and coffee of course! See you there!!

And spring is there (eventually)!


Lots of lovely things growing at the Allotment: the asparagus, the globe artichoke and the french sorrel are the first one to make our mouth water, closely followed by strawberries and sprouting broccoli. Come and check us out sometimes!

Our new event calendar is online http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/the-regents-park/regents-park-attractions/allotment-garden, and lots of new training sessions with Capital Growth are taking place at the Allotment. for more details check the website capitalgrowth.org

Happy growing!
