COURT LANE ALLOTMENTS SUNDAY 4th OCTOBER STALLS EVERYONE WELCOME View Court Lane Allotments in a larger map Well, it certainly has been a busy summer. Everbody has been working hard on their plots and enjoying the produce that has now come despite the not so very sunny summer. Radio 4’s “You and Yours” programme had an interesting article on last Friday (5th June). It featured an allotmenteer in Cheltenham who had received warning letters from his local council threatening eviction for not having enough of the land set aside for growing fruit and veg on his plots. I think this is an interesting [...] Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has started a campaign where land can be shared so that people can grow their own fruit and vegetables. This has huge possibilities and it would be interesting to know how allotments like Court Lane could be part of this scheme. We’ve set up our own Flickr site as well as having a flickr group. The idea is that those who know about flickr can just add themselves to the group and those who love photography but are not too sure about the whole world wide web thing can still contribute by having their photos [...] We spent the first day of British Summer Time doing a bit of tidying up, planting hawthorn whips and weaving brambles along the fence (to deter those who may need deterring). Come and join us for some mulled wine and a mince pie and other delicious Christmas treats. One of our allotmenteers has been using photography as a visual record of the development of his plot. Luckily for us he has been uploading the progress to his Flickr page and he has kindly given permission for them to be used on this blog. Come join us at our Autumn Fair event on 25th October 2008. Free entry. A big thanks to Nick Booth who has been giving advice and support on how to develop this website. He has been heavily involved in a Birmingham based community project that allows people from the city to voice their interests, opinions & passions. |
