Workshops
The workshop 'Introduction to Organic Gardening + Harvest Festival' will not be happening on the 12 October any more. If you intended on coming down, then please do anyway as we will be constructing a new shed and finishing off the cob oven on Sunday and need lots of hands on deck!
I'll put up a new date for the workshop when we have it.

WORKSHOPS
Chorlton’s Community Allotment is looking for more volunteers – people who’d like to spend a few hours every week, helping to cultivate The Lost Plot, just off Nell Lane in Chorlton.
In order to give people a taste of what it’s like on the allotment, coordinators Helen and Josh have organised a series of workshops:
Sunday 21 September
COB OVEN BUILDING WORKSHOP PART 2
Sunday 12 October
INTRODUCTION TO ORGANIC GARDENING + HARVEST FESTIVAL
Sunday 9 November
INTRODUCTION TO PERMACULTURE
Each workshop starts at 10am and they’re free. All welcome, whether interested in joining the Lost Plot or whether you’d like to take the skills back to your own allotment project.
Contact Helen or Josh on 0161 227 0377 or email helen.starr-keddle@afsl.org.uk in you are interested in attending
Summer 2008 down the plot
Summer 08 has been a bit of a wet year, which has spelled disaster for a few of our crops!
Everything seemed to sprout later than usual and the lack of sun in August has meant a few things are still to ripen!
We had a few allotment socials at the beginning of the summer and now have some exciting things lined up for the winter!
