Sustainable Garden - Autumn Update! 🍂🧡

We've been harvesting the last of the garden's seasonal veggies, including: leeks, broccoli, celery, bulb fennel, chard, chickweed, nettle tops and winter salads 🥗

Other activities in October & November have included:
1. Replanting the willow arch and weaving in some new branches. 🪴
2. Sweeping up autumn leaves from footpaths around campus, and using them to mulch our fruit bushes, putting fresh woodchip on the paths and tidying the garden. 🪵
3. Sowing microgreens for volunteers to take home 🌱

That's it for campus gardening sessions this calendar year, we will be back in February!
