Getting tidy for grand opening


Friday morning 20th June and we were rushing around to get the site clean and tidy ready for the grand opening that afternoon. The weather forecast was grim, looking like heavy rain.
Chris Pack and Steve Trotter are the guest speakers. We have also been given an Hampshire heritage apple tree 'Beauty of Hants' to plant from Sparsholt College.
In the end it turned out fine and dry and about 100 guests turned up.
Many children who first came to garden back in April also came along and a good time was had by all.




We thought as something different we would get Chris to pull a beetroot instead of cutting a ribbon, we felt this was too ordinary.
We are now official, so lets get more people into the garden and teach them how to grow their own fruit and veg.
Thanks to everybody who helped on the day, it was a great success.
