St Martins Brownies are about to create an edible garden.  

They have the space, the ideas and the enthusiasm...but the site is very overgrown (see attached photos).  Which is where we come in.

They are organising a work party - WITH BBQ! - on Saturday 22nd. June and will welcome all volunteers.  The main job is to cut back and clear undergrowth, and to have a good old tidy up of the site - quite heavy work, but do-able with enough willing helpers.

Everyone with a bit of energy to spare is welcome, for all, or part, of the day.

If anyone has particular skills with planting/cutting back/managing trees and shrubs please come along if you can; your knowledge would be especially helpful.  

Advice on, and help with, bird feeders and nest-boxes also welcome.

  • THE DATE: Saturday, 22nd. June
  • THE TIME: Meet at 10.30 am
  • THE PLACE: St. Martins Methodist Church, Ellesmere Road, St. Martins.
  • DIRECTIONS: Go through St. Martins towards Overton on the B5069 (Overton Road).  At the small roundabout just past Stan's Superstore, turn right onto the Ellesmere Road (B5068).  A little way along the Ellesmere Road you'll see the church on your right - a cream-coloured building with a grey steeple.  Turn into the car-park, on the right, just past the church.
  • BRING WITH YOU: A tough pair of gloves.  Stout boots recommended!  Any tools you think will be useful - forks, spades, rakes, secateurs, pruning/bowsaws, etc.  (A trailer and 'man-with-chainsaw' is already organised.)
