Shredded Comfrey is covered with Straw for the winter, while crops continue to grow.
The main growing season has come to an end, so this Saturday 26th October we’ll be covering the beds with shredded comfrey and straw and to keep them weed free and fertilized over the winter.

Come along and help out between 10.30am-12.30pm this Saturday 26th October. Tea break is usually around 11.30ish – All welcome šŸ˜‰

This activity is weather dependent, but generally we’ll only cancel if we get persistent rain. Check Facebook for updates if you’re unsure.

Apple Pressing Day | Diwrnod Gwasgu Afalau

October 23rd, 2017 | Posted by llangollen garden in Events - (Comments Off on Apple Pressing Day | Diwrnod Gwasgu Afalau)

We had a wonderful time pressing apples at the community garden. Over 50 people came along to help out, there was music, laughter and lots of apples and of course juice! Great teamwork on the day meant we got through a tremedous number of apples, producing juice to drink and take away. We also replenished our compost bays with the apple mush. Of course we also left plenty of apples on our tree for the local wildlife.

Many more images are available on our Facebook page. Many thanks go to everyone who came along to help out, brought apples, the band – The Glaaswalkers, and North Wales Wildlife Trust for lending us the pressing equipment.
