Berkhamsted School visit for weeding and tidying by a Hemel Food Garden team. It’s a large area around the school so sections are tackled each visit.
The last of the honey that was extracted recently has now been sieved and jarred up.
Labelling took place (courtesy of Marc & Jake) and over 86 jars are now available to buy in the Hemel Food garden farm shop. Jim takes over the first batch to the shop.
You all get to know first!
An amazing amount this season – bees have been loving the weather and the flowers! We don’t take it all and now they will be left to increase their winter stores.
Alison & Val were at the Kings Langley monthly market last weekend, selling Sunnyside plants grown at Hemel Food Garden.
The ‘Sunnysidemobile’ cleaning team at work on the buses. Gleaming inside and out.
Recyclers – what a haul collected sorted and now on its way to the recycling down the way.
You saw the re-potting of houseplants – here are the results and splendid display.
Blooming gorgeous hanging baskets outside the Sunnyside Up café & farm shop.
