So things have been crazily busy for the past month and we seem to have missed a few posts! We've run our first public drop in workshop since the pandemic started, a greening workshop at St Marks church (there's a post in the pipeline about this). Anne has set-up, invigilated and taken down an exhibition. We've collected a shed kindly donated by Allan and got it back to plot 33 ordered wood to make a few repairs to it before we put it up. Run banner making workshops and written 3 funding bids. Plus run our weekly Wonder Women session at the plot along with the day to day maintenance that takes place on an allotment weeding, watering, harvesting and planting and very occasionally we've just sat and had lunch caught our breath and marveled at how quick pumpkins grow. 
so here are some photos for you to enjoy and we'll try and keep on top of the posts

    Greening Stoke is a project run in partnership between Festival Stoke and Letting in the Light.  We are based in Stoke-on-Trent.  
    We want to share with you the journey of taking on an allotment for Greening Stoke. We will share our ups and our downs, and we hope that you will be able to come and visit us during 2021.
    Please sign up to our newsletter too and we can tell you when we are running activities you can join in with.

    COVID Safe

    We are starting this adventure in January 2021 in the middle of a national Lockdown. Until things change and begin to open up we are  abiding by all the Covid-19 Government guidance and for the foreseeable future only Rachel and Anne will be working, in a socially distanced way, to prepare and maintain Plot 33 for when we can invite the community to work with us.
