Gardening volunteer
Our gardening committee organises our food growing garden in the grounds of the Old Library. We envision a place where people who might not have an opportunity to grow vegetables can come and tend raised vegetable beds and pick up produce for their own use and leave some for other local people. We intend to make the site wheelchair-accessible and use green ways of cultivating vegetable, herbs and fruit. Gardening Club at The Old Library is on Friday, 10-12.
