Birthday Bonfire Bonanza – Sunday 8th November, 6pm onwards

The Lost Plot celebrates its 4th birthday in November and with the approach of Guy Fawkes Night we have decided to combine our celebrations and have a Birthday Bonfire Bonanza! We’ll be having a warm, cosy bonfire, a BBQ (both meat and veggie) and November celebrations wouldn’t be complete without a few fireworks! As with every Sunday, we will be at the plot from 1pm building, digging and generally getting our hands dirty so if you’d like to join us in the daytime, feel free to come on down. We’re always on the lookout for new volunteers and our bonfire celebrations provide a great opportunity to meet the team, share your knowledge and learn more about growing your own organic fruit and veg.

The atmosphere will be friendly and relaxed, so feel free to bring sparklers, drink, food to cook on the BBQ and don’t forget to wrap up warm! Music (both live and recorded) welcome. The BBQ and bonfire will be start at around 6pm, followed by fireworks at 7.30pm. For more information or to find out who to contact on the night, please email allotment@afsl.org.uk.

Polytunnel Planning - Sunday 25th October, 1pm onwards

Now the plot's polytunnel structure is complete we want to start planning and planting to make the most of the 'extended seasons' and the many other benefits our new polytunnel will provide. If you know a bit about polytunnel growing, would like to learn from others or would generally like to get involved in the plot’s activities feel free to head down to the Lost Plot this Sunday. The main focus for the day is planning what to grow in the polytunnel and when, but if you prefer digging, weeding or even making old bits and bobs into new more useful bits and bobs then there is always something to be getting on with. For directions and to find out who to contact to gain access to the plot on the day, please email allotment@afsl.org.uk.
