St. Mark's Food & Allotment Group begins again at the allotments on Maismore Road, Woodhouse Park on Thursday 5th March meeting 9.45am St. Marks United Reformed Church/Tree of Life Centre, Oatlands Road, Wythenshawe M22 1AH. We'll go over to the allotment site and begin clearing, weeding and then planting seeds for this years delicious vegetables we chose last summer and bought. Some seed goes straight to the soil. Others is being grown on window sills and greenhouses as we speak! The group will then meet Tues and Thurs weekly together. Some members of the group go on Saturdays and once a month we meet on Sunday afternoons 1-3pm to join with a big task with lots of other plotholders on the site. We also now ask for £5 per person for the year as a membership fee which allows access to benefits including keys for the site, toilet, brew hut indoors, tool co-op if needed and more!If you are planning to come along please come first time to the church and not to Maismore Road and ask for Kate. After that we will swop contact details and arrange how we meet.
Bring with you a drink and warm clothes and a willingness to do physical work! There are extra coats and steel toecap boots on site to borrow.
It's lots of fun and last year we grew, shared and cooked a range of veg and fruit from our plot!
