Miranda - the allotment workparty is today, but if it rains then could be postponed to tomorrow. I don't know who owns the land behind the wall.

Mike - there will be room for flowers among other plants. Calendula will have self seeded from last years and can be transplanted where we want.

As part of the Making Local Food Work programme, Co-operatives UK offer free specialist training days on Governance and Legal Issues for food co-ops. I have included some brief information below, and dates when these courses are running in the South East, but if I get enough interest (12 or more people) I can run further bespoke courses around the region – let me know if you would be interested!
