Black clouds hovered over the acre today, finding us hunkering down in the workshop cabin whilst outside the pond was naturally filled as the clouds emptied.

So many things happening on the acre in the past week it seems as if we’re competing with the spring flowers to come to bloom!

The acre is beginning to look quite glorious. Marianne and Sarah went plant shopping and the " Madge Green Bee Bed " is really taking shape.

A noticeable feature has moved location as our greenhouse now sits proudly on its new base.

Despite the recent wild stormy weather our new shed is very nearly complete…all the electrics are in, it's fully insulated and solid as a rock!

Work has finally started on our much longed for gardening cabin! For months we’ve had the square of rubble, promising to be the foundations and finally it’s going up, another milestone for space2grow!

On our regular gathering on Wednesday it was like Picadilly Circus with guests and visitors, volunteers and the acre pack all making the most of the wonderful weather.

Nothing heralds the change of season as well as the bright yellow daffodils with their ' trumpets' proudly announcing that spring is coming. With such lovely weather drifting over the acre it is truly magical to see the changes, knowing that longer and warmer days are on the way.

On Wednesday it was busy, busy, busy as we made great strides under Nicks guidance in laying our new path. The ground was prepared before a membrane to suppress the weeds was laid down.

This week saw us start the second layer of our willow fencing which also meant harvesting the boughs by pollarding the trees by the stream.
