Grow Your Own in East

New Growing in the City Scheme is launching in East and needs your support!

Growing in the City is a volunteer-led group, established to promote the growing, eating and cooking of healthy, locally produced food. A site for East ’s first “Grow Your Own” scheme has been found and a fun filled day of work will be taking place on Sunday 3^rd November between 11am and 4pm. The address is St. Barnabas Church Rectory, South Street, Lower Openshaw, M11 2EY.

The scheme will kick off with a day of ground clearing and preparation of the new site. To keep both workers and the activity fuelled and motivated, there will be lots of cake, hot food, tea/coffee etc.. Toffee apples and treacle treats for kids (and adults). It should be a fun day regardless of weather or numbers!!  ALL are WELCOME.

The organisers are also looking for ANY support/assistance regarding the hire/loan/costs of:

• Tools/equipment to cut back bramble, nettles and weeds etc and start digging out roots
• Skip(s) and bins – to remove rubbish/bricks and non-recyclable waste
• Refreshments/food as well as cooking/warming of food etc.
• ….and finally advertising the event.
