Penge Green Gym Newsletter September 2016

Penge Green Gym Newsletter    Dear Penge Green Gym Supporters     New Workshops and raised beds In August we welcomed the team from Froglife to Winsford Gardens.  They led a fun and very informative workshop on the wildlife in Britain with emphasis on amphibians such as frogs and newts.  Local families came along and learned about these fascinating creatures and how to encourage them in this urban environment. We want to say a big thank you to all the team at Froglife for creating such a great event. Another Big Thank you We are delighted to announce that we are the recipients of a grant from the Greggs Community Foundation.  The mission of the Greggs Foundation is to "make a difference to the lives of people in need in the heart of Greggs' local communities."  With the money we are able to replace our broken down raised beds.  We can now raise them up to a level that can be enjoyed by wheel chair users in the park.  Thank you Greggs!   Other projects in the park We have now put up some of the bug hotels that the brownies helped us make last month.  They look very smart on the fence and hopefully will be filled with guests very soon. We have also decorated our other raised beds with paintings created by children from our open day and our volunteers.  They looks very bright and cheerful. We are now beginning to think about projects for autumn and winter.  We will be finishing our new raised beds and continuing our work to improve our growing area. We continue to get strong volunteer numbers and are always happy to have feedback from the local community who use the park.

See what's happening in Penge this week....

Penge Green Gym Newsletter    Dear Penge Green Gym Supporters   Come and enjoy the annual Penge Green Gym Open Day! It's that time of year again when we prepare the gardens for our open day. We've been busy tidying the gardens, making plans for children's activities, nurturing our seedlings and baking lots of yummy cakes! Dan has been preparing a demonstration insect hotel with cardboard and bamboo.  Ching, a volunteer from our sister group at Bromley Green Gym will be back again this year to do some more fantastic face painting and balloon animal making.  We also have a new and improved (and slightly trickier) treasure hunt so come and have a go!  We also had an army of volunteers this week and we were able to get lots of tidying done. Our new volunteer Mary is also excited to be doing the yoga taster session on Sunday.  If you fancy having a go she has suggested you bring a mat if you have one as the grass may be a little damp. So please come along, bring your friends and family and help us celebrate another great year of volunteering at Winsford Gardens.     The garden is looking particularly lovely at the moment.  The traditional rose bushes are in full display and many other flowers are enjoying the warmer weather.       Thank You We wanted to say a big thank you to Waitrose for letting us be a part of their communities matters money raising scheme for May.  Hopefully we'll find out soon how much their customers raised. Also thank you to The Dorset Road Allotments who have promised the proceeds of this Open Day Raffle to the Penge Green Gym.           Easyfundraising You can still also use Easyfundraising is an easy and free way to support the Penge Green Gym.  When you buy items on the internet from well known shops such as John Lewis and Amazon, you can sign up to Easyfunding and they will donate a percentage to Penge Green Gym.  To sign up, go to www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/pengegreengym.
