@HawkheadJohn @morss_alex @helen_k_allison Looks like it could be a sucker from a near by Tipuana tipu, or seedling tenaciously fighting the elements!!

So proud to be co-leading on this project. Working to help wildlife is such a privilege.

Yes, there is an alternative. These people have shown how to ‘take back control’ | Aditya Chakrabortty | Opinion | The Guardian
And here’s why we support #Incredible groups to support kinder, more connected communities. Only they will make change!! https://t.co/OuarSHCyZp

What an amazing harvest for our #RootsCommunityGardening team! Looking forward to seeing the seasonal display @BristolBioSci this week and tasting this #student grown produce @STARbris1 and @Bridgestweets #WelcomeFeast at #HamiltonHouse this Sun 28 Oct 5.30pm. All welcome! 🎃

[Freya Coen @freyacoen]

Bumper crop! Pumpkins are FOOD and brilliant for introducing folks to growing. They more or less look after themselves and make tasty soups/curries/pies. This year let’s not contribute to pumpkin-related food waste. Buy a pumpkin to carve? Eat it too 😊

[Simone Jacobs @simone_jacobs]

@freyacohen Can't wait to see the display @BristolBioSci this week and taste their goodness at the @Bridgestweets @STARBristol1 #PeaceFeast Sunday 28/10/28 5.30pm #HamiltonHouse. Well done #RootsCommunityGardening!
