On Saturday 22 April 2023, we took part in Stirling Council’s Open Streets Day, which also marked EarthDay.org
We set up our stand in King Street, and provided compostable pots, compost and a variety of seeds.
Lots of children and adults planyed them up and took them away to nuture them.
We had tomato, sunflower, sweetcorn, peas and runner beans available.
The sunflower seeds were especially popular with children.
It also gave us a chance to talk about the garden and promote the upcoming plant sale on Saturday 13th May.
