Look at the window boxes we planted up for the NOAH Enterprise shop last week. Noah had a little budget, and hanks to the wonderful people from Bridge Valley Nursery the money stretched so much further! Look up next time you walk past. They should keep growing all summer. ☀️☀️☀️

Did you buy red geum plants at our charity plant sale last year? They've sprung into bloom in people's gardens all over Luton! I had kept 2 for myself, and one of them turned out yellow 🤔. I guess that's Mendel's laws of inheritance for you. Send us your pictures!

I know strictly speaking, Luton isn't in Bedfordshire. But do you drive 🚗 (and I guess cycle 🚲 or walk🚶) in Bedfordshire at least once in 3 months? Then this survey is for you: forms.office.com/e/YEyuMDh8Z… Closes on 11 June 2023

Event postponed! We do not mind a spot of rain 🌧, but this is too much for the ‘Cuppa in the Community Garden’ today. Watch this space for a new date.

CHANGE OF PLAN: We've rescheduled Saturday's Cuppa at the Garden to next week. It's just too cold and there's a good chance we'll have icy roads/pavements ❄️ 🛷. Sorry! Please join us now instead on Sat 18 March. Same time (10am to 1pm), same place (Albion Ct/Cross St)

First 2023 #foraging walk with wonderful @forager_the Jane. We braved the cold and learnt about how, when, what (and what not!) to forage. And Jane took our tastebuds on an adventure with spectacular flavours: alexanders pesto, hogweed spiced cakes, magnolia petals and more!
