Walled Garden days
We will be working in the Walled Garden this Thursday (16th June) 6 – 8pm and this coming Sunday, as usual, 11am – 1pm. Hope to see you all there!
Permaculture course cancelled
Sadly, due to the bad weather conditions, we’ve decided to cancel the Bite-sized Permaculture course due to take place in the Walled Garden today (Sunday 12th June).
The good news is that we’ve already arranged a replacement date which is Sunday 10th July. We’ll make further details available closer to the day.
Transition Network Conference 2011
The next Transition Network Conference dates have been announced: 8th – 11th July at Hope University, Liverpool.
The Conference is an opportunity to meet other Transitioners from around the world; to find out what others are doing and share what we’ve been up to in the Teign Estuary.
A couple of us went last year if you’d like to contact the group at info@teigntransition.org.uk to get an idea of what goes on.
More details are available from the Transition Network web site.
Community Garden admin meeting: Sun 17th
On Sunday 17th we’re holding our first administration meeting for the Community Garden. These meetings will be occurring on a quarterly basis. The meeting will be held at 10 am in the Walled Garden, preceding our normal weekly gardening session. Please come along to help plan the running of our work at Eastcliff.
Walled Garden Workday 1st April
The Walled Garden in Eastcliff Park is being cleared and weeded for planting this spring. A series of workdays by Teign Estuary Transition and Friends of Eastcliff, with star turns from the Rangers of Teignbridge Council and the Community Payback crew, have seen the walls cleared of ivy, the ground cleared, the raised beds in the Walled Garden ‘extension’ weeded and the surrounding paths cleared to reveal the pattern of a vegetable garden established generations ago.
The next challenge is to keep those busy inhabitants of Eastcliff Park, the rabbits, out of the way – while we grow fruit and vegetables for the rest of us. So the Rangers are back in the Walled Garden on Friday 1st April from 10am until 2pm to lead a workday building a rabbit-proof fence. If you can spare some time on Friday morning you’d be very welcome and you may be able to try your hand at fencing. For the poster advertising the day please click on teigntransition.org.uk
Members of Teign Estuary Transition try to get there most Sunday mornings from 11 ‘til 1 – see the website for details. We look forward to seeing you.
