Last summer I went on an free short course in community gardening run by the properly excellent
Cordwainers Grow. They got in touch with their ex-students recently about an opportunity to work with
Sutton House on a growing project - specifically turning a big beautiful vintage coach sitting in the latter's grounds into a greenhouse...sounded dreamy.

A few of us met up to discuss the project, and what we thought we could do, or grow, in the space. Later, I drafted our expression of interest and later still, lo, our group were accepted.

...a little gardening to look forward to on those long summer evening still to come..
