Community lunch and spring celebrations


The next event organised by the Otford Community and Garden Association will be a community 'déjeuner au jardin' or 'mad-hatter' lunch.

We have set ourselves the challenge to cook a big Paella and an even bigger apple crumble. We'll try to source most of the ingredients locally or at least to be able to know their story.

We invite you to bring some ingredients from your garden to make a few salads.

To add to the fun of the day, there will be a bread making competition (a recipe will be provided, watch this space), an art workshop and the inauguration of the garden with the spring plantings.

More information HERE.

Conditions:
Price: $5 for non OCGA member ($18 for family - more than 3) - $10 per member ($20 per family - more than 3)

Winter rosters

Hi

We have planted everything, and we are waiting for the Kale and the Potatoes to grow. There is no need to water, but weeding can be handy, as well as making sure all items are kept in safe order and needed weeding is done. In addition, it can be good to check the stage of growth and the possible need for early cropping/protection...

Members are asked to have a 'garden week'. I list below a possible roster and will try to update it depending on your feedback and new members. I only put on the roster people who sign up to be active member or who clearly expressed the interest and will soon fill their form. If you are not on the list and if you want to help, email here and/or contact the person on the roaster.
