Open evening

On Tuesday 16th of June we had our open evening. It was a fine evening luckily The paths were looking spick and span after a volunteer tidy-up. 35 people came along.

The Mayor came and she stayed an hour. In the Green Shed we had refreshments and a tombola
and some children won prizes by solving vegetable anagrams,
We sold a number of plants too, apart from all the produce sold at Grange school fair.

At 7 15 people gathered for a bee talk by Martin, complete with a model hive and young helper. Bees are making a comeback! In the last few weeks Martin has been called to several swarms, even on the wing of an aircraft, and has transferred three swarms into empty hives at the Green Patch. So we hope they feel at home.

All welcome!

Next Tuesday evening we are having a friends evening 6 30-8-30 when people can visit the Patch There will be a tombola and children's quiz, and a talk about bees. Oh, and refreshments of course!
A local naturalist has visited to look at our flora and fauna and has found an interesting tree in our hedgerow. More details when I get his report!

Rainbows and grass

A team of volunteers was busy the other evening and at the same time some Rainbows came to visit the Patch. They visited our wildflower meadow which is suddenly full of beautiful grasses, pricked out some seedlings and did a word puzzle. Some Scouts have also been tidying up, because we're having an open evening in two weeks.
