                                     Well at last we have rain in the garden and the
                                     grass is green.  It gives us all a chance to be a
                                     bit optimistic and enjoy autumn produce.  This is
       a time to think ahead and plan next year.
       In  September  we  enjoyed  an  interesting  talk  from  Seb  Haggett  from  Wild
       Woodbury who talked about the Wildlife Trust plans for court green Farm.  We will
       look forward to seeing how the development of wild food production on the site
       over the next few years.  Hopefully there will be lots of changes and new wildlife
       to be seen on site over the next few years.
       I  also  gave  a  twenty  minute  short  presentation  of  the  making  Crabapple  and
       bramble jellies.  I hope it encouraged a few members to have a go.

       is  giving  a  short  presentation  on  pictures  from  various  World  Gardens  he  has

       appreciating them.
