Our 8th Seedy Sunday!
Despite the new date well over a 100 people came to Seedy Sunday this year. They brought and swapped seeds (commercial or own) and plants (including vegetable seedlings) or gave a donation if none to swap. Some bought seeds from͚ MoreVeg͛ seed and Bright Seeds companies. The Garden tool sharpening service did a roaring trade and had to take some of the blunt tools away with them to sharpen later. Also on sale were pea/bean sticks and other gifts. Great interest was shown in the 'How to recycle plastics and other products in the garden'. Another favourite was the opportunity to 'nurdling'. This seeing how many nurdles (the small discs of bleached plastics found everywhere in our oceans) could be found in half a glass of Lymington sand. For children there was a quiz and free gifts, as well as being able to read about our local eco primary school with its gold star rating. Our local green spaces area featured the Millennium Green with a scale model which had lots of interest. Homemade refreshments were enjoyed by all.
