Preparation is key, especially in gardening, and The Sunken Gardeners were thrilled to be invited to Ellington Park May Fayre in Sunday 18 May with plenty of notice to grow plants to sell and raise funds for the Garden.
With the fair weather, including some glorious afternoon sunshine, it was great to be part of this exciting and very well attended event, raising awareness of the Garden and sending lots of lovely young plants off to new homes in the area. We also continued our Sunflower initiative from 2024, handing out over 750 packets of seeds for people to take home and grow in their outdoor spaces – we’re looking forward to seeing the results!
If you’d like to join us in the Sunken Garden, adding your contribution to keeping the Garden looking lovely, the next Community Gardening Day will be on Saturday 31 May from 10am to 12noon and will have the added bonus of a free masterclass in the Chelsea Chop – come along to learn what this is and how to do it.
