Suki, one of our School Judges, talks about the School Competition This year our Schools Competition is on the theme of the seaside.

This will be great fun I am sure and I would suggest a trip to the seaside to get some inspiration. Remember to take a camera so that you can record those all important images. Think about what surrounds the sea and lives in it. You may get some ideas for a container to create your garden in too. How about planting some vegetables as well as other plants and thinking about attracting wildlife too. Will the plants reflect seaside colours? We always love judging the schools competition and we’re always impressed by the enthusiasm and imaginative ideas that come from the children. We are hopeful that more Borough Schools will enter this year. See the list above giving a list of traditional picture books and non-fiction books for Primary School children to read which are connected to our theme. Also have a look at the RHS Campaign for School Gardening. Good Luck!

Allotment Update

Now we are into April, hopefully you will have your allotment plot all up to scratch having utilised recent months to repair fences and sheds; add compost/manure to appropriate beds; plan your planting and sowing schedule; buy your seeds/potatoes and plant new fruit bushes/canes. In February I usually cover an area of my plot with fleece to warm the ground where, in March, I will make my earliest sowing of vegetables such as beetroot, carrot and parsnip and plant my broad beans that I sowed earlier inside. Remember, with beetroot, each nobbly seed capsule contains several seeds so give them approximately 5cm spacing. March was also a good time to prune your blackcurrants and gooseberries and feed the former with a nitrogen fertiliser and the latter with potash fertiliser. Potash is also good for your cane fruits. If you have a large enough plot to do so, try to help stop a build up of pests and diseases by planning a crop rotation. A 3 year rotation would be something like potatoes - brassicas eg cabbage and kale - root crops eg onions and beetroot. It is also important to deal with pests and diseases in other ways, such as protecting from carrot, onion and cabbage fly, possibly by using a product like enviromesh. This will also double up as protection from butterflies and pigeons on brassicas. If you use the very fine mesh, aphids can also be excluded. Caterpillars of various kinds, along with slugs and snails, can be removed by hand (please use gloves) and disposed of appropriately. Aphids can be squashed. I always prefer these methods rather than the use of chemicals. All of my weed control within the plot is done by hand or, in appropriate weather, by hoe. Finally, watering will generally need to be considered sometime within the coming months. Please do try to ensure water is not wasted, this can be helped by watering early or late in the day to avoid excessive evaporation and using mulches to slow down the drying process. Newly planted or sown crops often require watering in and until established, after which it will depend on the crop and your soil type as to how much water is subsequently needed. Early potatoes, lettuce, radish, beans, peas and berrying soft fruit should be given priority, along with anything in pots or under glass. Crops such as beetroot, brassicas, onions, parsnips and carrots, once established, would be second priority. I always find it better to water less frequently and give enough water to soak in well, rather than giving frequent light waterings that may bring crop roots to the surface where they will dry out more quickly. Good luck with your endeavours and have an enjoyable

and productive growing season.

GUILDFORD IN BLOOM COMPETITION

CATEGORY: A GARDEN FOR WILDLIFE Where have all the hedgehogs gone? A recent survey found that most people did not see a single hedgehog in 2016. Their numbers have fallen dramatically from 36 million in the 1950s to only 1 million now. It is estimated that the numbers have fallen by 30% since 2003. The big question is why such a drastic decline? Among the reasons given are destruction of habitat, garden chemicals such as slug pellets, and lack of insect food. The plight of the hedgehog matches many other species which are now in danger of extinction. In fact the UK has lost more nature than the global average and we are now one of the most nature depleted countries in the world! These are shocking facts so its time for us all to do our bit to create homes for nature and our gardens are a perfect place to do it. If you are aware of a hedgehog snuffling around in your garden he is your biggest friend for keeping slugs down. However it isn’t all they eat as they like insects and worms among other things. They enjoy a little bit of dog food and absolutely love meal worms to supplement their diet. Bread and milk are certainly NOT suitable. Gardens tend to be too secure these days and hedgehogs need a run through a small hole under the fence. You could encourage a hedgehog to take up residence by creating an undisturbed part of your garden with a pile of leaves and twigs. In fact to help all wildlife it is important to create a corner of your garden which isn’t too tidy! Different kinds of plants attract different kinds of wildlife - valerian, snapdragon, foxgloves, crocus, michaelmas daisy, honeysuckle, scabious, heather, evening primrose, catmint, and cosmos are not only very colourful but flower at different times of the year to encourage pollinating insects. These insects also love the flowers of herbs such as borage, chives, thyme, marjoram, oregano, and mint which make your food flavoursome too. But you could go a step further… Create a wild patch This is the perfect time to sow a wildflower patch. Clear a small sunny patch of weeds especially perennials such as nettles, docks and dandelions. Prepare the ground as if creating a lawn. You can get a wildflower seed mix from a garden centre which would be suitable for your garden and to make it easier to sow, mix with silver sand. Rake in lightly and water thoroughly. It may be wise to initially cover the area with netting to protect the seeds and young seedlings from birds. Many plants will be flowering within three months of sowing. Leave the area to die down in the autumn so that the plants self seed and to create an area where creatures can survive the winter. Rake over the area in early spring to remove the debris and any weeds so as to encourage the seeds to germinate and the process starts all over again. Easy! Not only will you have a display of flowers and grasses for many months you will also have provided a perfect spot for wildlife to flourish! Mo Usher, Guildford Environmental Forum

'Annus Mirabilis' for Palmer’s Lodge Community Garden

We – the Martin family – moved to Palmer's Lodge in March 2015, and were delighted to find a peaceful and quiet neighbourhood; a veritable oasis in the heart of Guildford. The residents were friendly and most welcoming; on our arrival, there by the door, was a 'Welcome to Palmer's Lodge' card with a list of our neighbours. What I particularly loved, at first sight, were the gardens at the front and rear of the flat. They are not particularly large, but I could see their potential; I am quite mad about gardening. So it wasn't long before we were all digging and planting and of course chatting with the neighbours. We soon discovered that there were many of our neighbours who also loved the beauty of flowers, and some who were even as active as ourselves in gardening. So it was not long before the twinkling of an idea of a 'community garden' came into our discussions. In particular there was a turfed area, right in the heart of the estate, that my husband and I thought would be a fantastic place for a community garden. So, long story short, we discussed our 'community garden' idea with all our neighbours and then approached our community warden. This was in April 2016. The encouragement we received from our warden and then from GBC was beyond fantastic - but subject to assuring GBC there were no neighbours who were against the idea and secondly to our letting everyone on the Palmer's Lodge estate know exactly what we had in mind to create. So that, as they say, was how it began. We do, however, thank our neighbours most sincerely for all their support towards this community garden project, without which we would never have been able to create the garden we have today. Our neighbours have been truly magnificent in their financial support and in the supply of plants and compost and invaluable 'gardening advice'. With the final 'go ahead' from GBC my husband and I were underway with fork and spade by May. It was also around this time that our community warden suggested we should enter the community garden into the Guildford in Bloom competition. As this sounded like a great idea we accepted his help in contacting the organisers and within just a few days had signed up to enter. Shortly after we had stated digging the plot. By June the community garden was really coming to life with plants shooting up everywhere. As last year (2016) was the year of the Queen's 90th birthday we though it appropriate, with agreement from our neighbours, to enter the garden in the 'Commemorating the Queen's Birthday' category. If you look closely at photos of the front plot you will hopefully see a plaque commemorating the Queen's 90th and if you look very closely you may also see a Queen Elizabeth rose. Also in June we were very pleased that our local councillor could attend our Palmers Lodge, Dray Court and Neighbourhood Watch party to commemorate the Queen's 90th birthday; and after digesting a few burgers and glasses of high sugar content Coke he officially unveiled the garden plaque.

By July the front plot was a riot of colour from Cornflowers, Coreopsis, Cosmea, Cosmos, Zinnia and Poppies. In the rear two plots annuals and perennials including Penstemons, Leucanthemums, Knautia Macedonica, Glomeratas, Calendula, Caerulea, Petunias and Asteraceae were also beginning to make their appearance. We must also mention here that we are extremely grateful to GBC for providing our community garden with a fantastic wooded bench; and also to Palmer’s Lodge’s former neighbourhood watch officer for re-varnishing its wood to its former glory. The month of July was saddened, however, by the passing away of the estate’s very first and oldest resident. This dear lady loved flowers and was taking a keen interest in the community garden’s progress. At her daughter’s request, we are pleased to mention that we now have an engraved name plaque, on the community bench, in her memory. On the 20th July we were descended upon by the Guildford in Bloom adjudicators. The day was fortunately gloriously sunny, the neighbours and supporters of the garden project came out in force, and a great time was had by all. In August we were delighted to hear from the Guildford in Bloom organisers that we had been invited to attend the awards ceremony in September, at Stoke Park. And to our immense surprise, on the day of the awards, we had the pleasure of meeting the Mayor of Guildford and being presented with a Gold Certificate in the Queen's Birthday Theme category. Wow! This was truly a wonderful reward for all the supporters of the Palmers Lodge community garden. This award also gave my husband and me the incentive to inform Her Majesty of the Palmers Lodge community garden project and to send the Queen several photos of the garden and residents. Receiving the Palmer's Lodge community garden Gold Certificate In November we were overjoyed to receive a reply from Buckingham Palace. We were very pleased to give a copy of the letter and postcard to everyone who supported the project. 2016 was truly an 'annus mirabilis' for all the supporters of the Palmers Lodge community garden.
