We have received an email from Caroline Paul who is the fundraiser at QE2 School, Comptons Lane, Horsham RH13 5NW. They have a raised bed allotment area and are looking for people who may be interested in cultivating it and using it to grow vegetables (to be used by those volunteering to manage it). It is rather overgrown at present, but it has a lot of potential and needs tending all year round which is why they are seeking a team of volunteers to help. Their staff and students would benefit from the allotments as well, but the staff cannot always come out to tend to the gardens and are obviously on school holidays for several months a year. They would love to hear your thoughts and anyone locally who may be able to help them and help themselves by utilising the space!
If you are interested in helping, please contact Caroline directly:

As we approached the fifth heatwave of the year, and with the continuing drought, the Committee of Horsham Horticultural Society had doubts as to whether they would receive sufficient entries to even hold a summer show! Our members, however, had other ideas and pulled out all the stops. Although the number of entries was down on the previous year, the hall was filled with a grand display of flowers at our show on Sunday, 9th August. Full details of cup winners and photos can be found in the menu under Summer Show.
