How to Take Part
Just turn up! Saturday 6th July 11 am - 1 pm
What are the Tomato Plants?
They're a variety called 'Dward Veranda Red' and htey are little bush tomato plants that can be grown in small spaces.
They grow to about 1ft square and produce a LOT of cherry tomatoes.
Due to their bushy habit there's nothing complicated to do! No canes or string to grow up, no side shoots to pich out - just let them do their thing!
All of the plants are grown at the Nottz Garden Project allotment in Whitemoor in Nottz.
This year we have about 200 plants.
So what else is happening on the day?
Free Tomato themed food , Face painting, T Shirt printing, a Tomato mural wall and more!
Guerilla Gardening
Thurs 2nd May
-
We'll start on Gamble Street Corner - our very own guerrilla veg garden and branch out into the streets of Radford to sow seeds and plants in neglected spots for a couple of hours - the idea is that by Summer we have a riot of colour and flowers all across the neighborhood.
What plants & seeds will we use?
Native Wildflower seeds that are a mix of annuals and perennials - so we'll get plenty of colour straight away this year and then plants that come back year after year creating a beautiful permanent environment.
We'll also have stacks of Sunflower Seeds saved from our Red Gamble Street sunflowers and donated by generous locals.
