New Heights in PR

Last Friday saw the erection of Louise's handiwork- a well placed sign announcing that Midleton Transition Town gardeners ( to long winded, " Harty's Party" is shorter!) were responsible for the transformation, and giving credit to the Veg.Shop for their welcome support. The Sun-God smiled upon us and work went ahead at a pace.

The first bed is now looking wonderful. The Nasturtiums are flowering, the Strawberries are ripening- all set off by the purple of the French and Hidcote Lavenders. this area must have been well dug because weeds are scarce! it is possible that we have now found an answer to the paving problem- watch this space!!

We were visited "on site" by Grace (wonderful cakes!) and it was good to get the appreciation. However, we could still use more volunteers for the two hour fun break! It's better than the Gym- and cheaper. The second bed is coming along and a third one is being planned. Gardening is not all hard work- we have a laugh as well and it's a great way to meet people and make new freinds.

Please feel free to leave your comments on this web-log and on anything to do with the work being carried out- we like a bit of feedback.
