We are planning  to plant a harvest vegetable garden in the vicarage at St Luke’s Church to grow a variety of vegetables for Harvest Festival this year.  We will be doing a range of fun gardening activities with children and adults within Sunday school and at other times throughout the summer to get the garden up and running and producing in time for the Harvest Festival Service.

 

We are looking for keen volunteers who would be willing to help with the initial clearance of the vegetable garden patch in the vicarage garden.  No gardening knowledge is required !  Just some enthusiasm, a pair of gloves and a spade !

 

Please contact Sally Curzon or Father Martin if you are interested, or just turn up on the day.  Coffee and biscuits will be provided.  Children are welcome but will need to be supervised as this session will involve the use of sharp tools etc.
