Butterflies, bees and hungry heron...

It’s said that one of the first five indicators that spring’s arrived is the Orange Tip butterfly and I was delighted to spot one on Sunday in Home Park, along with the first brimstone I’ve seen this year! The next day a Brimstone fluttered past at the back of my allotment, always a zing of vivid yellow to brighten the day, Peacock butterflies have been around for a good couple of weeks now

Find out in our month-by-month calendar of what to do and when.

Keep off the Grass

The latest work on the allotment roads is finished. In order to level out the big dip in the ground between the compost toilets and the picnic tables (and to keep the price down), much of the scooped-off soil from the work has been put there.

Please do not park your car there, until further notice. The soil will take several months to settle and become firm enough for cars. Moreover, it has been sown with grass seed.

If you park on the allotments, please make sure that a piece of paper with your plot number on it is clearly visible through your windscreen.
