Managing and harvesting the fruits of Callis Garden

Tomorrow Rhys, Lou and I are going to start removing some of the crap from the garden. Starting at about 11am, we will be moving stuff from garden to carpark then to the tip. If anyone is free for a few hours we would really appreciate some help as it's a big job. We'll be making some food afterwards for helpers. Cheers in advance xx Melanie

Red tomatoes!

Get your pumpkins ready gardeners!

Callis chickens need a shed - does anyone have a old shed they want removing? We will dismantle and take it away for you.... Please SHARE this post to your friends and groups...

Callis Camomile Harvest!

I feel a winning pumpkin coming along! Callis Gardens @ Melanie's Secret Pumpkin Patch 🙂🎃

What a wonderful day-we all loved it and are really chuffed with how it went. Thanks to all who came along! There was tree magic, cakes, birds, burgers, and much balsam was bashed. The money raised will go towards kitting out our club house and building a compost loo for community gardeners X

If your coming to Callis tomorrow it's best to walk or cycle. Don't park on the lane - there is a bit of space over the road or by able fuels.
