Folks have been beavering away in the Sumac Yard Garden.

The yard has been improved. Wooden 'trough boxes' built. [although I now notice a couple broken up :-( 

Many, pots and seeds planted, but this year, the poly greenhouse looks a bit sad and vandalised. 

So, as spring has officially arrived [well, sort of] the yard is now looking a bit more green and generally verdant. 

Volunteers have put in some hours here. The objective, not just to grow food for the Sumac itself ..... but also to provide a positive example on what can be achieved in quite modest urban surroundings. 

It is hoped folks would look at what has been achieved here, and think they could adapt ideas to their own circumstances. 

How about getting involved?
