Thank you David. I completely agree. I feel very lucky that I have found one so close by. I hope the future holds more community gardens everywhere, it really does seem like this is a movement that’s building 🤞🏼🥳🪴
Thank you so much. That first cup of tea when you've been out in the cold, there really is nothing better is there?. I find through the day I mindlessly drink tea, but there are certain cups that are definitely better than others and I think the first cup in the morning is also up there!
Thank you so much Jo, it’s always special when you love writing about something and others are right alongside you as you do it. A substack community and a community garden! I feel very lucky today ☺️
Really loved reading this but if there's one maxi, by which I live it's that NOTHING GOOD EVER COMES OF LEMON BALM
😂😂 there’s definitely a story behind this…..
I'm afraid I'm with Mark on this - although it does cure my hay fever which I can't believe no-one apart from me has ever worked out yet
Really? That’s definitely a good one to know!
It is lemon verbena for people who don’t like themselves
😂😂 I shall try both and give you my verdict!
Lemon balm is dearly beloved at our place.
My kids absolutely fave
Surely they can’t have tried lemon verbena?!
They have :) They love that too
Then SURELY they can never want lemon balm (its musty grandad jumble sale suit of a scent cousin) again…!
Totally agree!
This is a lovely post 🌱 There should be far more community gardens around than there are 🌷

Agree totally
Such an enlightening and inspiring post about the pleasures of community gardening! Thank you Anna.
You’re a welcome. I’m so pleased to see so many enjoying this story ☺️
Love your title!
Thanks Trudi! ☺️ I always find the title the hardest part!
This is such a wholesome post! I love the market stall.
My favourite line was “Does anything taste better when you’ve been working outside? I think not.”

Oh definitely! Looking forward to the next update 😃
I remember feeling like this starting at a community garden.
I came to love it and met people I never would have met otherwise.
They were other cherished plant people.
I agree Holly, it is like I have found a sanctuary full of people like me, it's really wonderful.
A lovely read - will enjoy following!
How joyful it is to see your Substack Anna - I know I'm going to look forward to this each week
