Many thanks to the cafe and for hosting our popup sales these past weekends. Here a few pictures of our setup! And these are such lovely community spaces and cafes!
Many thanks to all of you who popped by, purchased our plants and support our work. It means a lot. It is so good to see our little plants moving to new homes! It's so important that our seedlings are planted in time, and particularly now that the weather is getting hot and dry! I can't wait to hear how they do!

More sales to be announced soon, and you can always get plants on our stall at Emmanuell Hall & Petals_florist_exeter on Wardrew Road (thank you, John and Paula for selling some of our plants).

Again, a big thank you to all of you who joined our walk organised in partnership with Felix - Community Physical Activity Organiser Exeter West, Westbank Community Health and Care and Exwick Local History, and to all who facilitated it brilliantly. We explored so many different aspects of our local horticultural past: nurseries, workhouse, market gardens and orchards, allotments. We visited Guys and Hilton Allotment, run by St. Thomas Allotments Association since 1920, and ended the walk by the FLOW : A river orchard on the Exe's lovely plot and bench by Exwick's Cricket Ground. An ideal place to finish and imagine what our city's edible landscape could be.

More walks will be organised later in the year. We'll send updates here.

Happy International Workers Day!

Remembering past struggles. In solidarity with current ones. We remember and celebrate despite that this is not a bank holiday in this country anymore...

In France, Labour Day's flower is the Lily of the Valley. You can buy some stems on the street to give away as present. So I was moved to see this beautiful and so fragrant flower growing in the little garden of the Methodist Church in Cowick Street.
