Take part in Compost Awareness week with Garden Organic!

Compost Awareness Week is fast approaching and this year Garden Organic will be running two competitions to raise awareness of the benefits of composting organic waste and using compost in the garden.

• A Poster Competition: be imaginative and creative to produce an A4 sized poster which advertises compost awareness week and the painted bin competition.

• Secondly a painted compost bin competition: hold your own competition amongst friends, family, community groups, allotment associations or schools.  Be creative and make sure you send us a picture of your bin.

Entry to both competitions is open to all ages and abilities.  Please send entries either by email or post to the address below stating your name, age, address and contact telephone number (include school/organisation if sending as a group).

Deadlines for entry to the competitions are 31st March for the Poster Competition and 12th May for the Painted Bin Competition.  Garden Organic experts with a team of Master Composters will judge entries to both competitions.

Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in both competitions.

Coventry Community Supported Agriculture – initial meeting

Launch Meeting
Thursday 9 February 2012
7.30pm – 9.30pm
Methodist Central Hall,
Bull Yard, Coventry, CV1 2HA

Want to grow your own veg?
• Not enough time for an allotment?
• Not got access to space for growing?
• But you still want fresh, local, organic veg?

Come along to find out about a new Community Supported Agriculture scheme, just outside Coventry: an exciting new way of being involved in growing fresh organic veg. It’s simple: buy a share – get a share of the harvest of tasty veg each week.

Transition Coventry is helping to set up this scheme at Ryton (on land owned by Garden Organic). Come and find out about it! It’s a scheme run by the community for the community, involving everyone in the growing (through helping out a few times a year) and celebrating local food!

Meet Gareth Davies who was instrumental in helping Canalside Growers get up and running – a successful scheme for 100 families in Leamington Spa. Have a look at their website: www.canalsidecommunityfood.org.uk.

If you are able, please come along on Thursday 9 February. If you can’t make the meeting but you are interested, please let us know: email us at TransitionCoventry@gmail.com or contact Jo on 024 7667 8735. We can put you on the mailing list for more information.
