Another busy day in the garden. A chilly start this morning but we warmed up in no time. Lots of weeding around the trees and raised beds, Ollie and Ugo finished the shelving, Deirdre made us an apple sponge and Maria made a very unusual soup called Armenian apricot soup.

Why We Love Taplin’s Fields? To mark #NationalCommunityGardenWeek, we asked our amazing volunteers what makes our garden special and why should everyone join a community garden! Taplin’s Fields isn’t just a garden, it’s a growing community. 🌼🥦
