Starting at Gamble St Corner - our OG guerrilla garden and then taking to the streets of Radford.
We'll start on Gamble Street Corner, our 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’ll have a riot of colour and flowers all across the neighbourhood.
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.

Tomato Day usually takes place on the first Saturday in July.

Gamble St Corner, our OG community garden.
It’s a day when we celebrate the Tomato on Gamble St Corner! The main aim of the day is to distribute free tomato plants to the community and encourage people to grow their own food... alongside that we have all sorts of family-friendly activities and tomato-related fun on the corner.
Just turn up on the day between 11 am - 1 pm
They're a variety called 'Dwarf Veranda Red' and they 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 pinch out - just let them do their thing!
All of the plants are grown at the Nottz Garden Project allotment in Whitemoor in Nottz.
We usually have about 200 plants.
We usually have free tomato-themed food , face painting, and t-shirt printing!

Usually the 2nd Saturday in October, 11am-2pm
