The VegeTTable group will start regular 2nd Monday of the month meetings 7-8.30pm, at the Hall as of Monday 11th April. The session will include,
- Q & A/trouble shooting
- a special interest subject
- a trading table to share produce
- a brag or moan session.
The other aspect to the group’s gatherings will be garden visits to showcase or support local vegetable growers.
These will be on the Saturday following meeting 10-11am, the first visit at 54-56 Amelia Street, two gardens to think about how they tend their crops.
