NEV Community Garden
Spring is here! The Garden has daffodils and blossoms are on trees and on the early prunus. What this means for us at the Community Garden is that it's time to be raising seeds, planting out some early ones and sowing seeds directly in the garden beds. We need lots of help and we'd love to see you! You'll see below that now winter is over, we revert to 9am starts on Saturdays, but just come when you are able.
If you feel you would like to take on some more responsibility at the Garden, please let us know.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

Are you for, or against?

-
43.2% I want to be able to choose.
-
