The Chemists Patch

A forgotten patch of land, being turned into a community garden

[The Chemists Patch @chemists_the]

We’ve taken over (with permission of the owner) a forgotten plot of land, and with the help of a few locals, will be turning it into a productive garden. Veggie beds, fruit trees, homes for wildlife and somewhere for the hardworking staff in the shop next door to come and enjoy.

With the help of neighbouring handyman - Ash, the Patch now has a bespoke potting table/ storage container. (Big thanks to Ash for braving the recent downpours to install for us).

@EastsideAphrod1 @IoloWilliams2 We leave part of the garden like this most of the year… then strim it down to a manageable length and then mow.

There are some big plans starting to happen in the Patch. A large decaying tree stump will be going in preparation for a new area to be created. And our amazing growing roof over the log store seems to settling in nicely. #gardenlife #logstore #spring #gardenplans
