Successful Plant and Seed Swap!

Lots of people turned up to share their plants and seeds today over a cup of tea and a chat

- a really nice idea!

Full Bloom Ahead!

Our orchard is looking lovely with lots of blossom and new signs for the different apple varieties. We are also very busy potting up tomatoes, planting peas, broad beans, sunflowers, carrots and onions!

Moving on with Incredible Edible

We have made further progress planting up our forest garden and have also put some bean tepees in flower beds in preparation for planting up!

Simon

It was standing room only in the garden room last week when we all came together to give Simon our congratulations & best wishes on his new job at L’enclume.  At L’enclume he will be part of a team of five  growing fresh produce for the restaurant in Cartmel & also for the new restaurant at Claridges. He will of course be missed at Ford Park especially by Sarah who gave a fitting tribute to Simon, before the all important giving of the leaving presents.  It was then time for the cake which was made by Ali and looked gorgeous and tasted even better. While we all tucked into the cake, Simon told us that working at Ford Park had been an amazing experience which had enabled him to apply for the job at L’enclume.  He thanked everyone & gave special mention to Sarah & Kim. I am sure that he will be very successful in his new position and we look forward to his continued visits to keep us all updated on the new job.
