Bring a friend or three – and why not bring a generous donation also. We look forward to seeing you there.

More photos from the Lynnside Community Garden
Dear All
The top end of the garden is taking shape beautifully, thanks to a lot of work, thanks mostly due to Graham's tireless efforts.
He has contributed the photos here, taken over the last few weeks. Lovely autumn colours, don't you think?
If you would like to contribute in terms of time and/or money, we will be happy to get back to you. Simply leave a comment at the end of this post with your contact details – your comment will not be published.
It is hoped that the garden can at long last be opened to the public next spring. Watch this space!

Even in autumn, a riot of colour
Hello again
Graham has done a sterling job in selecting robust flowers (bulbs, annuals, perennials) that even after a wet and chilly periods looks stunning on a grey autumn afternoon.
Would anyone like to sponsor a bench, or a fruit tree, or some more planting? Donations are always welcome!

| Interesting shapes, textures and colours as we look towards the retaining wall at the top of the "top end". |
 |
| A striking feature is the circular motif of lovely cobblestones. |

| Just magic! A riot of colours: yellow and orange calendula, blue cornflowers, pink rocks and gravel, green foliage. |

The Top end of our Community Garden is taking shape
What a difference!
It's taken a while and may take a while yet until we can officially open. Still, there's no denying that a great deal of progress has been made:
