Forest Fields Food Gardening Club5:00 pm – 5:00 pm
The Forest Fields Food Gardening Club is in session again, currently on Mondays from 5pm at Sumac’s garden, which is organic and laid out to show the best use of a small space. It is full of ideas you could use in your own garden.We can share seedings and materials. Local food production is an important part of a low carbon society.
Any time you can spare to help build this community resource is greatly appreciated. Your chance to get involved with exciting urban food project! We want to encourage, support and learn about food growing in Forest Fields. Drop in and help with the Sumac garden or discuss your growing needs.
See “Sumac Garden Project” photo report at Notts Indymedia.
The Sumac Garden has been much improved, with more asphalt being dug up and ‘raised beds’ have been built. Many, many pots and seeds planted in the new poly greenhouse.Volunteers have obviously put in the hours here. The objective, not just to grow food for the Sumac itself ….. but also to provide a positive example on what can be achieved in quite modest urban surroundings.
With the recession in full swing more and more people are growing their own fruit and vegetables but what if you don’t have a garden or even a backyard?
See how to grow fruit and vegetables in containers at these weekly gardening sessions at the Sumac Centre. All welcome to learn, practice or help with organic, permaculture gardening.
Directions and contact details are at the Sumac Centre Website
Forest Fields Orchard had 100 fruit trees to plant in Forest Fields in 2009.
We are grateful to the late Kathleen Jannaway and the the Movement for Compassionate Living for the initial funding to establish the garden.MCL’s aims:
- To spread the vegan message and promote simple living and self-reliance as a remedy against the exploitation of humans, animals and the Earth.
- To promote the use of trees and vegan-organic farming to meet the needs of society for food and natural resources.
- To promote a land-based society where as much of our food and resources as possible are produced locally.

Other useful information is available from the Vegan Organic Network.
Vegan-organics is any system of cultivation that avoids artificial chemicals and sprays, livestock manures and animal remains from slaughter houses, with fertility maintained by vegetable compost, green manures, crop rotation, mulches, and any other method that is sustainable, ecologically viable and not dependent upon animal exploitation. …more…

Forest Fields Food Gardening Club5:00 pm – 5:00 pm
The Forest Fields Food Gardening Club is in session again, currently on Mondays from 5pm at Sumac’s garden, which is organic and laid out to show the best use of a small space. It is full of ideas you could use in your own garden.We can share seedings and materials. Local food production is an important part of a low carbon society.
Any time you can spare to help build this community resource is greatly appreciated. Your chance to get involved with exciting urban food project! We want to encourage, support and learn about food growing in Forest Fields. Drop in and help with the Sumac garden or discuss your growing needs.
See “Sumac Garden Project” photo report at Notts Indymedia.
The Sumac Garden has been much improved, with more asphalt being dug up and ‘raised beds’ have been built. Many, many pots and seeds planted in the new poly greenhouse.Volunteers have obviously put in the hours here. The objective, not just to grow food for the Sumac itself ….. but also to provide a positive example on what can be achieved in quite modest urban surroundings.
With the recession in full swing more and more people are growing their own fruit and vegetables but what if you don’t have a garden or even a backyard?
See how to grow fruit and vegetables in containers at these weekly gardening sessions at the Sumac Centre. All welcome to learn, practice or help with organic, permaculture gardening.
Directions and contact details are at the Sumac Centre Website
Forest Fields Orchard had 100 fruit trees to plant in Forest Fields in 2009.
We are grateful to the late Kathleen Jannaway and the the Movement for Compassionate Living for the initial funding to establish the garden.MCL’s aims:
- To spread the vegan message and promote simple living and self-reliance as a remedy against the exploitation of humans, animals and the Earth.
- To promote the use of trees and vegan-organic farming to meet the needs of society for food and natural resources.
- To promote a land-based society where as much of our food and resources as possible are produced locally.

Other useful information is available from the Vegan Organic Network.
Vegan-organics is any system of cultivation that avoids artificial chemicals and sprays, livestock manures and animal remains from slaughter houses, with fertility maintained by vegetable compost, green manures, crop rotation, mulches, and any other method that is sustainable, ecologically viable and not dependent upon animal exploitation. …more…

See how to grow fruit and vegetables in containers at these weekly gardening sessions at the Sumac Centre. All welcome to learn, practice or help with organic, permaculture gardening.
