Seedling Sunday
To be held from 11:00am to 2:00pm on Sunday 1st May in the Village Hall. Only two weeks away! I hope some of you have been growing plants. I have corn cockles, cosmos, nasturtiums, sunflowers, and white mallow. We will want cakes for refreshments too, and I need about three people to help with the latter. Could you email or ring me if you can help?
