A Community Growing Initiative
Excited to launch our new Climate Action Award this week, in partnership with Garden Organic and Wild Wales Seeds! A free pack is available to support this initiative – see our schools website for details: Climate Action Award – OSF Garden Schools
Thanks to everyone who has supported us in 2021 – we can’t do it without you!
To coincide with our Autumn Give Away we’ve started a new Facebook Group called OSF Growing Together. The aim of the group is to establish a supportive on-line community of growers in the North East of Scotland. This will be a chance to share growing experiences (post your photos and any updates), share useful hints and tips, share useful links and information, and to find out about the next One Seed Forward give away. Join us! https://www.facebook.com/groups/osfgrowingtogether
To accompany our Autumn Give Away, we’ve made a 2-minute film giving advice and information on how to plant and grow the onion sets and garlic cloves.
You can view the film in the Autumn Give Away section of the website.
Thank you! As a voluntary organisation we depend on fund-raising to continue our work – encouraging all ages to grow their own fruit and vegetables.
Delighted to say that we’ll be at Bonnymuir Green on Saturday 20th November when we’ll be giving away FREE onion sets to anyone who’s keen to keep growing over the winter months. While stocks last! See you then
For more information about Bonnymuir Green visit www.bgct.co.uk
Here’s a chance to keep your growing going over winter! We have a 100 onion sets to give away for FREE. If you’re quick you might also receive an Elephant garlic clove . We’ll send these out in the post on a first-come first-served basis, to anyone who emails us with their name, address and postcode.
Once processed we’ll delete the email and all contact details. We’re also starting a FB group called OSF Growing Together which we encourage you to join – more details will be included with your onion sets!
We were super happy to be be chosen by ACVO and Volunteer Aberdeen for one of their short films featuring volunteer organisations who are playing a part in tackling climate change.
Filming took place in the Community Allotment last week (thankfully a lovely day!). Thanks to Andrew for a great little film!
