Our Yard at Clitterhouse Farm

Anika writes …

The garden is now slowly re-awakening after its winter slumber and the first daffodils and hyacinths are poking their heads out of the ground. Over the last few weeks, the garden team has been busy pruning berries and fruit trees and has made a start sowing broad beans, chillies and sweet peas.

We are very excited to introduce Sean & Meagan and Hannah, our new tenants. Sean and Meagan moved their bakery to the farm and are now selling their freshly baked bread and delicious pastries at the café (which is now open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm) and via their website www.seansloaf.co.uk. Why don’t you pop by and find out more?

Hannah Milson (#potterspocket22), an inspiring local artist, opened her pottery studio at the Farm last October. Hannah is running regular workshops for children and adults throughout the year.

In addition to our weekly community gardening sessions, lots of other workshops are now in full swing: outdoor adventures with Kreative Play (see more below) and Little Critters; Mindfulness through art sessions creating watercolour floral artworks and bamboo sumi-e paintings; and a Hatha Yoga session. You will find all the information on our website www.ouryard.org.

A big thank you to everyone who helped with the building of the wooden planters in Pennine Parade and at the Purbeck Drive park entrance last year. We moved mountains of soil and gravel on the day and planted evergreens, pollinator-friendly perennials and spring bulbs to brighten up the neighbourhood. Feel free to water the plants when you are passing by! The “Planters of Hope” project is a collaboration between Our Yard at Clitterhouse and GGERA, funded by the BXT Community Fund.

What’s coming up?

Help us to fight food waste and join our new Community Composting Project! A big thank you to the North London Waste Authority for funding this exciting project.

If you would like to get involved, please contact Anika at garden@clitterhouse.com.
