This is a great way to visit the garden for the first time. If you can&#39;t see anyone at first, walk right to the end and look inside the hut with the aquamarine door, in case everyone is sitting in there drinking tea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJGZZzotykh0JgplwsH2y2imhaSs55KhurbSxP4ULeYb8fNO6cbk5EdDn0hTde8U6jOpRdEsH24DNEsmqiOICa32C3oc2vHYNEAM0CO9Qf2bu9AX2Syf1yz1tXlPv2JNvEL6sM4OJTtEuL6LPe28f4QquZfne-c0T-LQs1OqaokJgEJupYWP3uKKoIn3P2/s2000/ECCG%20Sundays%20flyer%20(4).png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;2000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1414&quot; height=&quot;610&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJGZZzotykh0JgplwsH2y2imhaSs55KhurbSxP4ULeYb8fNO6cbk5EdDn0hTde8U6jOpRdEsH24DNEsmqiOICa32C3oc2vHYNEAM0CO9Qf2bu9AX2Syf1yz1tXlPv2JNvEL6sM4OJTtEuL6LPe28f4QquZfne-c0T-LQs1OqaokJgEJupYWP3uKKoIn3P2/w431-h610/ECCG%20Sundays%20flyer%20(4).png&quot; width=&quot;431&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Right now it&#39;s time to start potting tomato seedlings, so if you&#39;d like to grow some baby tomatoes at home, ask Charlotte, Meg or Yvon how to get started. Let&#39;s get this tomato kindergarten growing!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another project for the coming months is replacing the worn-out containers of the raised beds. There&#39;ll be plenty of chances to paint and assemble the new containers. We&#39;re hoping to grow a &quot;Tea Ceremony&quot; garden in one of the raised beds this year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have an &lt;b&gt;Intro to Gardening Course&lt;/b&gt; coming up, starting on March 23. You can come to one or all of the four days, and get a great hands-on introduction to some essential gardening skills. We will also host an &lt;b&gt;Intro to Permaculture Workshop&lt;/b&gt; on 26-27 April - what a great opportunity!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyyoJl9TCco6_MQrq10V92u2kh7e-Q0hotfhyphenhyphenSud4MsxSNg6IGZ7b5OzZJhHnh6qdLKZ_i77kiYZFubZlWiNYeZTkiQrviAmV7oFDpNjeT8sudjtj6mLLygPkj1qqy6Paifjz-Qnw72rvJl7qjd0R8u2cPIy1rH6ak2DfFz1YxKKzACGRdKL0pc2a-rYX9/s2000/ECCG%20Gardening%20Course%20(2).png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;2000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1414&quot; height=&quot;596&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyyoJl9TCco6_MQrq10V92u2kh7e-Q0hotfhyphenhyphenSud4MsxSNg6IGZ7b5OzZJhHnh6qdLKZ_i77kiYZFubZlWiNYeZTkiQrviAmV7oFDpNjeT8sudjtj6mLLygPkj1qqy6Paifjz-Qnw72rvJl7qjd0R8u2cPIy1rH6ak2DfFz1YxKKzACGRdKL0pc2a-rYX9/w421-h596/ECCG%20Gardening%20Course%20(2).png&quot; width=&quot;421&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here&#39;s a beautiful photo of how the garden vegetable beds look right now, taken by Meg.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoiqOeEvywXXZZpP3S9prFLwOgUToswrtbLnMjA80pBfia2ltWu6APKARDK7Zy-j852hJz6FkfKQbnwsAsFmksSSJfZLCqdXuX-i6fBp8q_RA3Dj2mIYSRyCtkwpMk0AgBGRUs-FOonxmyxOhpsz8vFirhyphenhyphenPSncixOTDW1v0PbFVNmYGwCMU414DiDXppp/s2048/empty%20common%202025.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;2048&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2048&quot; height=&quot;487&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoiqOeEvywXXZZpP3S9prFLwOgUToswrtbLnMjA80pBfia2ltWu6APKARDK7Zy-j852hJz6FkfKQbnwsAsFmksSSJfZLCqdXuX-i6fBp8q_RA3Dj2mIYSRyCtkwpMk0AgBGRUs-FOonxmyxOhpsz8vFirhyphenhyphenPSncixOTDW1v0PbFVNmYGwCMU414DiDXppp/w487-h487/empty%20common%202025.jpg&quot; width=&quot;487&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;This Sunday at 10am we&#39;re hosting a special event, &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/p/DFYVGSlsQfu/?igsh=b3hrc3VwY3hhc3ly &quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Nestbox Making for Palestine&lt;/a&gt;.&quot; Make and decorate your own nestbox from kits made by YMCA Woodskills Community Service Group.

We covered some of the highlights in our blog, look back at the posts - see panel on your right for a selection.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has been a peculiar year at Empty Common. The wet and mild weather of the las two years has seriously affected the balance of things. With no frost to kill the gastropod eggs and wonderfully cool damp summers we have, like everyone else, been inundated with gastropods. This spring was spent growing microgreens for gastropods, and that’s not funny.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many seeds drowned and those that achieved those first two precious leaves were eaten. Some crops were sown and nurtured four times without success. For the first time we succumbed to tempting our fat gastropods to their death with beer. Good crops were beans, beetroot, carrots, basil and tomatoes but it has been disheartening for all vegetable growers and we are already short of volunteers. Another thug within the garden has been the bindweed. Completely out of control and it is going to be a long slow job to tame it. Any bindweed haters who wish to take their anger or despair out on bindweed are welcome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the plus sides, which are many, the garden is still doing well, mainly thanks to Ben Womack and it has provided a wonderful space for many activities.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Meeting hut update&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having raised £375 through crowdfunding, John and I fitted a wood burner over the winter and finished off many of the smaller jobs including the disco lighting. We are now well equipped with 12-volt lighting, 240-volt sockets and USB ports. We are looking for a projector for small film shows if anyone knows of a spare.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The hut and garden together have hosted several events:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;A couple of “Healing Words” creative writing workshops,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The concluding morning of a two-day imaginarium titled “Seeds in the DIRT”, where writers from all over the country met to discuss how to reduce the writing industry’s footprint.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Water Sensitive Cambridge held a community water ceremony “Honour the Water.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cambridge Permaculture Group have been meeting monthly. A small but very happy group where we have a little rest from all the things we do in life and exchange ideas, knowledge, and friendship.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;“Drawn to Nature,” an art group used the hut for one of their art days.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cambridge Climate Therapists, Resilience Web, The Woodcraft Folk, and a dance group have also used the garden and hut while locals celebrated a very wet Chinese New Year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several Transition Cambridge get-togethers have taken place in the garden and of course Anna’s Birthday.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other events included:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A visit by Charles Dowding, the famous “No Dig” grower who was appalled by the number of homes we’d built for gastropods. Wanting the garden to be a part of the wider ecosystem has its drawbacks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As usual we took part in the RSPB’s annual Big Bird Count.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We talked permaculture gardening on the Cambridge 105 program, “Flavour.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We made a Permaculture Trail for the garden which gives a short introduction to permaculture. It highlights various aspects of the garden and how they fit with permaculture principles and design. This trail can be followed around the garden with the use of QR codes or virtually online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We won a grant for £485 from the Transition Network to have a decent Gas burner with safety certificated plumbing fitted in the hut but this has proved difficult as we fall between gas regulation brackets, We’re not a house, boat, mobile home or caravan. Such is life. We have been given permission to use the money for the cheaper solution of a camping stove and another project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marrying the synergy of volunteering and funding, AstraZeneca volunteers have visited and added slices of tree to our log seating - making it relatively comfortable, a mini pond and bog garden to take our hut’s roof water slowly and usefully away and erected two large garden name boards which John and Charlotte have just put the lettering on. Finally, after ten years we have a huge sign on Brookland’s Avenue advertising “Empty Common Community Garden &amp;amp; Hut.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://emptycommongarden.blogspot.com/feeds/7727429073112190656/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://emptycommongarden.blogspot.com/2024/11/eccg-annual-review.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5235391962237999394/posts/default/7727429073112190656'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5235391962237999394/posts/default/7727429073112190656'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://emptycommongarden.blogspot.com/2024/11/eccg-annual-review.html' title='ECCG: Annual Review 2023-2024'/><author><name>Simone</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05496514300445204519</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0jFTY6i0ZTDQIpk_Mcs_YnT1F7OhBSVmthNRTE8Fab8J2CTKCqzJcbDANaJ81oZ1VnpXpHpFAhM4jR9wsWLn-zeeqU2toQJbbeSI5LufLKEyReWpF5TCVyUwt2T0PoClHlLSm3o-BLOSGdmLLa8oM_E0GMeoMMuJ6NMqilJsBojsjeiE7013_bqFr4pUZ/s72-w400-h189-c/IMG-20240717-WA0007%20(2).jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235391962237999394.post-2597700357617947622</id><published>2024-08-17T01:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2024-08-17T01:16:32.754-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ECCG is featured on a radio programme</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

Now with the wisdom of hindsight the empowerment of having a brilliant team (in key roles) to conceive and grow this project all those years ago, and also having important support from key figures (I could name a really important one – who stuck their neck out at the time), enabled a vision I, for one (and maybe you) could never have likely expected.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #242424;&quot;&gt;If you said back then, a famous gardening TV personality would visit the unshapen boggy mess; that Andy and Rob negotiated in an unorthodox fashion – actually getting swamped in the mud at one point and having to be lifted out (!) – then I would have said you were probably barking…. But then again, we were all probably free-spirited enough, community minded and selfless to know the journey would be worth it.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;x_x_MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #242424; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG3uVpHKqY2a52MkIwQuxs7cE8rOdhJSQ26CLG7-550-DPjF3uNjIHCEAnzymSsIFiIc4aCghhsLDpkZi8WH2Nx3ihXd99GzS0tYh0IZ8KF33u4edoiyqCVwMbP8DL6xjrp4b64XjjGevhpZbP9obaXJoU4i7TFDQBn4NnBG-HiX6SJ34Sn2qm6UNj5ux-/s2560/thumbnail_CD%20visit%207.jpg&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;2560&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG3uVpHKqY2a52MkIwQuxs7cE8rOdhJSQ26CLG7-550-DPjF3uNjIHCEAnzymSsIFiIc4aCghhsLDpkZi8WH2Nx3ihXd99GzS0tYh0IZ8KF33u4edoiyqCVwMbP8DL6xjrp4b64XjjGevhpZbP9obaXJoU4i7TFDQBn4NnBG-HiX6SJ34Sn2qm6UNj5ux-/s320/thumbnail_CD%20visit%207.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;We are getting ready for spring now and sowing seeds, but the soil being so wet is only just warming up and showing a few seedlings.

Today is the first day of spring, with meadows full of daffodils and crocuses. On Sunday, the ECCG had a party to celebrate the new meeting hut. Charlotte, our coordinator, sent these lovely photos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As with other parties, it was open to all ages - the hut and its amenities were fully tried and tested on the day. Scroll down to see photos of the event and how we celebrated this wonderful building, a labour of love.
