Hello my name is Spud, I`m the newest member of staff on the garden. I arrived on Sat 19th May, on a showery afternoon, accompanied by a large group of children, and a few adults. I must admit, they were a bit rough tying my hands and feet to the posts, but I do seem to have a nice hat and a Writtle College sweatshirt - maybe I'll get a new leather hat one day, you know, like the one that other part time scarecrow chap wears! I rather fancy a nice colourful scarf and waistcoat too, if anyone's got one handy!
I've already put paid to the antics of some uppity pigeon called Moriaty, so woe betide any other birds trying to have a go at the crops. I do like a bit of company though, so if you're passing, pop in for a cuppa and a chat!
See you soon! love, Spud.
Lots more pictures of Spuds Big Day in the photos section of the site!
Many thanks to all of you who came along and helped put Spud together - we had over 30 people - on the garden that day - and thank you to the little girl who thought of the name "Spud". Hope you enjoyed the activity and the story - we hope to run quite a few similar themed events throughout the year, to suit the season.
Karen.

Thank you to Lili, for Spuds' bright scarf - he looks smart doesn't he? We will be finding a new spot for him soon - we had to take him down when the garden was being ploughed. Really loved the Salad Monster - lets have a few more of those!!
