Our Autumn Harvest Festival


On Sunday we celebrated our annual harvest festival.   We hold our festival at our local community garden, where as a group we manage a plot.  It is a beautiful space, and an amazing project that is an education and demonstration site for sustainable agricultural and horticultural practices. 

HARVEST
It was golden, golden, golden, as the harvest table was laid



We started with some songs and the story of the Giant Turnip

An egg hunt yielded some welcome surprises

Then we all sat down to find some fairy silk amongst the corn

we even found some star shapes!

 Impromptu corn dollies were born while we waited for our cobs to cook

Garlic Bulb planting

And to finish off, an egg and spoon race (with boiled eggs!)

And Time just seemed to stand still…….
