Allotment Society Event- abunting we will go!

Our Archer Lane Allotment and Home Garden Society successfully bid for Jubilee Arts Funding and we got it! So I set up my machine to help young people have a go at making some bright and cheerful bunting using my scrap fabric. It was great fun. So many people are enjoying making things inspired by the GBSB - Great British Sewing Bee currently on the telly.
We raised over £650 from plant and cake sales - all the craft activities were free! Beeswax candles with a beekeeper, wooden bee and butterfly making, bug hotels, bunting, banner design as well as visits to allotments and great musical entertainment from the Grumpah Band. Lots of local people and children came!
A success on a very damp day. Some vital connections made with other food based projects across Sheffield. Grow a Row and Repurpose Surplace to supply local food banks.
