Rainbow Allotment Project Garden Party


On Sunday 28th June, we held a traditional garden party to raise awareness and funds for our allotment.






We were very fortunate in that Angela and Sefton Copitch generously offered us their beautiful garden, we were blessed with good weather and received a huge amount of support from friends and fellow gardeners which created that party atmosphere.
We are delighted to report that our garden party was both a financial and social success.  Very many thanks to all involved. 

Watch this space to see how we develop the project with the proceeds.
