Calder Food Hub – February Update

We ran a stall at Calder Valley Organic Gardeners’ 2012 Potato Day on the 25th February http://www.cvog.org/potato%20day/potato%20day.html

We carried information about our third ‘Seedy Saturday’ event scheduled for 24th March, a number of Apple trees (grafted last year), Hazlenuts (popular with children), Jerusalem Artichokes (sold out), Parsnip seed (ready for sowing). We also promoted the ‘Tool Library’ and courses we are running in the spring.

The 100 donated fruit bushes at the Redacre Growing Project, were to be planted at a workday on the 5th Februaury, but frost meant the day was given over to marking out new allotments instead. The bushes will be planted at a workday in the spring.
