Friends, neighbours and local residents are invited to join Teign Estuary Transition in sharing their first crop of potatoes, which will be baked by bonfire within Eastcliff Park’s Walled Garden on Sunday 16th October.

Potatoes will be dug up and the bonfire prepared between 11am – 1pm. The main event starts at 3pm, with Teignmouth Community Choir singing to celebrate the harvest.

There is also a Compost Competition at 4pm, where you can bring along a sample of your own compost for analysis and feedback.

Entry to the event is free, though donations are welcome, and you can buy potatoes and home-made chutney to provide funds for next year’s crop.

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!

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.

Join us for an introduction to permaculture gardening in Eastcliff’s walled garden:

Why? The dry weather is predicted to continue and we will need to find ways to accommodate this within our gardening.  This event will give us some useful ideas.
   
What’s involved?  Jane from HogCo will give a short presentation of how a few of the principles of permaculture can be applied within a horticultural setting.  It will be followed by practical application within our walled garden.

What to bring?  Sun hat and water, plus sturdy shoes and gardening gloves.  A trowel would be useful, also a watering can.

And what should I carry in my other hand?  If you have some card, grass cuttings, spoiled straw, and a few newspapers that you could bring along, it would be good.

Cost?  There is a small charge of £2 per person to cover this event including refreshment (drink and cake). No need to book – please just turn up!

Further details? Call Fran on 770318.

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.
