Friary Drop-In Allotment

Weather wise our small, but hardy team of staff and visitors have experienced a near typical year so far. The cold winter followed by a hot June has certainly been beneficial to crop establishment. Unfortunately weeds have appreciated it also, at present they keep us quite busy. Malcolm my colleague has had a turn in the greenhouses this season, raising many crops under heat.

Funds have been generated in diverse ways including plant sales at Friary Drop-In and at the Summer Gathering in West Bridgford park. In June an allotment open day was held.

Karina a fellow allotment holder and long time supporter of Friary Drop-In runs a voluntary group and kindly sold our surplus on her Open Day. This being the on the Sunday of the world Cup Final. A large cheque was generously presented to Friary Drop-In.

With some new projects planned for the autumn and the bulk of the crops yet to be harvested, there is still plenty of work down at the allotments for new willing helpers.

I would like to thank the tireless band of loyal visitors for their time, hard work, ideas and humour.
