Happy Christmas from the Community Gardens
December 2018
Brussels sprouts ready to be picked.
Update
With Christmas nearly upon us it has been a good chance to celebrate the past year with our Christmas lunch (mostly made with our own produce!) and reflect on what we have achieved in the gardens.Through the cold and rain our amazing volunteers have continued to come and we’ve been enjoying the last of the leeks, kale and pak choi and seeing the autumn sown broad beans poke up through the soil.
The hylotelephium, or sedum as we used to know it, has looked beautiful in the frosts and the cotoneaster berries have yet to be stripped by the birds. We’ve really enjoyed making Christmas table decorations from the honesty we grew and dried earlier in the year.
Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers and session leaders this past year who have worked so hard in making the community gardens a joy for us all to use. From all of us here at Grow Chichester we hope you have a very Happy Christmas and New year!

Don’t forget our last session this year will be on Saturday 22nd December and we will then be shut until Wednesday 2nd January when we reopen again.
