Coming up at the Corner – Half Term Specials!
We would love to welcome you to one of our courses that we have running right throughout the year. This month brings Intro to Bee Keeping, Urban Hens – Keeping Chickens in London and a new course, A Day at Hen Corner. During Half Term, 25th – 29th May, we have all-age courses with Family Feathers and Fun! on Tuesday and Pizza Together on Thursday. Hopefully, we will be able to see Bunty proudly displaying her new chicks as a special treat to all our Half Term visitors.
Other News:
- We are re-queening one of our bee colonies to insure that they are nice and friendly for visitors
- Our latest article in Out and About magazine is out soon, talking afternoon tea, strawberries, scones and jam
- The kitchen garden is neatly protected with net cloches over every raised bed – this means the chickens can free range more often and our seedlings stay safe.
Jobs for this week:
- Plant the baby squash plants into the raised beds
- Welcome some French journalist as they come to make a film about the rise of urban farming across the UK
- Watch out for Bunty’s chicks which should be hatching any minute now!
Have a good week yourself…
