Hi Fiona, I'd love some bulbs, both for our garden and for the allotment, where we need flowers too as bee attractants. I can't get to Holland Park but a carrier bag full would be great. I can meet you at the Park on Sunday sometime if you're going to be around.  Maggie

Hi Everyone! Great to see so many people up at the allotment yesterday.

We have been invited to take part in Queens Park Open Gardens and Studio day on Sunday 15th June from 1 - 6. Can you put the date in your diary and be there if you possibly can?

We want to look our best so I though maybe a tidy up/ sprucing up session would be in order, either on Sunday June 1st or Sunday June 8th. Can you post if you're available for either or both?

I was asked for text to describe our garden. I'm pasting in what I sent them below. I was also asked for three questions for the children's treasure trail. I've done them all as multiple choice plant identification questions. Hope you all like the idea. See you soon.  Maggie

Text: Queen's Park Allotment is now in its third year. We grow vegetables, herbs and fruit and also flowers to attract beneficial insects and keep pests under control. We are a mixture of new and experienced gardeners. Some members planted their first ever vegetable seed ever this April! We look after our individual mini-plots and garden together once a month. The allotment was set up under the auspices of Kensal-Kilburn Transition and has been generously supported by the management team at Queens Park. All the mini-plots are currently taken but there is a possibility of more space being made available if the demand is there. Let us know if your interested...

A message for new members:

Is anyone wanting a mini-plot? None available at present but we may be getting more space.  Come and meet us on Sunday May 4th between 10.00 and 12.30.  Maggie

Hope to see you all for a 'Garden Together' session on Sunday May 4th from 10.00 - 12.30. I'll ask Richard if we can have another bag of wood chip and maybe some gratis coffee. Meanwhile, I've planted runner bean seeds to plant on the bean trellis once the danger of cold nights (below 7 degrees) has passed.  Maggie
