2021 - Perth Community Farm - getting ready for the growing season

Happy New Year Everyone! Sure 2021 will be an interesting journey...  it seems to be going a bit crazy already... 

I don't think we can do anything much more useful, lock-down or no lock-down, than gardening: growing some food, looking after our local area and finding out more about how to help it regenerate its wonderful complexity, and learning more and more how to change from our crazy industrial way of life to something our local area could actually support - and have fun with it all too.

I've been looking after Perth Community Farm through 2020 with a small but dedicated band of friends and plan to keep on doing that this year. We'll be sorting out what to plant, getting any seeds we need and getting some plants started off soon. We'lI take all possible covid precautions for now, I hope we can get more people down again soon and start the courses and classes we've been wanting to put on for ages. See you soon!
