I was chatting last night to a friend who is involved with Kelmarna Gardens, and was inspired to write in support of what an amazing place this is for the community. Although I’ve known about it for years, I wasn’t aware of just how extensive the farm is and how important it is for the community in so many ways.
As I spend quite a lot of time in France, I see a number of gardens based on a similar concept but nowhere near as exciting as this.
I’ve been googling it this morning and I just can’t wait to go and visit the farm personally and pick up some tips for my own vegetable garden efforts. I need them.
I understand the lease is up for renewal next year and they are wanting to increase the opportunity for community involvement. I for one am very keen and I’m looking forward to attending the farm dinners. I hope others will also support them so this wonderful place continues to flourish and bring so much joy to the community.
