Station Community Garden, Transition Wivenhoe

The Station Community Garden is in its second year at Wivenhoe railway station, making use of the garden area around the disused station house. Network Rail gave permission for the garden last year when Off the Rails and Transition Wivenhoe worked together to grow mostly monster squash and sunflowers!

This year the range of food from this small space has grown: different beans, kale, tomatoes, beetroot, salad crops, potatoes, courgettes, peas, leeks, different brassicas and more!  While harvesting today, a kind donation of 2 more water butts arrived, thanks Tom; and veggies were shared with passers by. All are welcome on Sundays at 3pm to share and learn food growing skills, and sometimes Kelly Kettle tea! Call Jo 01206 827649 for more info.



 Wendy the station puss guards the scarecrow, bless.
