Today, we reserved the morning for an event to encourage more local families to visit the allotment. The weather forecast was dire, so we had our fingers crossed, but fortunately, it held off bar the odd sprinkle of rain, and we had a nice number of local folk who responded to our leafletting.

We laid on decorating cd's to make bird scarers, making self-watering pots again (see the Green Festival post for all the details), making scarecrows, games from Spots Vs Stripes and pancakes made with butternut squash, served with a rhubarb sauce (thanks for the rhubarb Sally!). Visitors were also invited to harvest lettuces and herbs, which they happily did, going home with stuffed bags and happy smiles.

Everyone seemed to have a great time, and we enjoyed ourselves as well.
