Swillington CSA

Spuds big day!

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.

Scarecrow Afternoon

Help Us Build A Scarecrow For The Garden!

Saturday 19th April   2 - 4pm

Every garden should have its' own scarecrow, and we decided it was about time we built ours! Lets hope it puts that pesky Moriaty in his place!

There will be several activities around the scarecrow theme - including stories and songs for the children, building the crowman himself, and if we're very lucky, some scarecrow biscuits!

If you have any donations of old clothes, hats, stuffing materials or anything else you think he should be wearing, please bring them along.

Meet on the garden at 2pm - hope to see you there!

Event organised by "Librarian Environmental Activities"
