community outreach & events #TheOvalBookshop

[The Oval Bookshop @CT9bookshop]

GRASS would love to expand#CliftonvilleInBloom so that it also covers Cliftonville East, if you (or your group) have 80 hours to give as volunteers and help deliver the competition we'd love to hear from you. Let's make Cliftonville blooming beautiful!

Community volunteers needed to help with the gardening at The Oval, just turn up on Wednesday’s at 10am (weather dependant)…

[The Oval Bandstand & Lawns @theovalct9]

The historic raised flower bed was cleared of weeds and tidied up by volunteers from the #OvalGardeningClub! Thank you to our wonderful volunteers! We're here most Wednesday's 10am-2pm making The Oval beautiful, if you'd like to help please come along. #margate #cliftonville

If you’re wondering what we are up to by the grand steps at #TheOvalBandstand we’re reinstating the flowerbeds and planting thousands of daffodils 🌼 for the spring! We’ll then plant lots of scented lavender for the bees 🐝 🐝 in the summer! Gorgeous! #cliftonville #margate

That's why we need more allotments! Last year I grew £600 worth of food for £30 in seeds. Yes it's time, yes it's effort but have you ever tasted plot grown, pesticide free carrot/sweetcorn?
If you have a plot, you have land & you have the opportunity & privilege so use it✌

A post from last year shows the #ovalflowerbeds had a very different look. Which do you prefer, the more traditional layout with bedding plants or the new planting scheme with a mix of perennials? #cliftonvilleinbloom #cliftonville #margate #community #communitygarden

The flowerbeds in front of The Oval band stand are looking very colourful and beautiful #theoval #cliftonville #spring #flowerbeds #margate #cliftonvilleinbloom

The @grassct9 volunteers have been out spreading a woodland bark mulch on the #GordonRoadGarden, this will help to suppress weeds and retain moisture to save water during the summer, whilst also adding much needed organic matter. We’ll be planting some new flowers 💐🌹🌺🌷this…
