Volunteers working in the Crook Garden

Crook Inn Community Garden

There has been great progress in the garden this summer, with a group of volunteers meeting regularly to weed, plant, design and weed some more.

The vegetable and flower beds were looking great at the end of the season, and our wildflower path takes a lovely relaxing route down to the River Tweed.

Perhaps the most exciting news is that the apple trees in the orchard have started to produce fruit – which is delicious.

Over the winter we are still meeting to discuss “all things garden” and have created a programme of events (mostly in the village hall), that everyone is welcome to join.

Rhubarbfest competitions

Following on from last year’s hugely successful Rhubarbfest, held on the Platinum Jubilee weekend, Tweedsmuir is once again celebrating all things rhubarb!

On Saturday 3rd June, the Wee Crook, gardens and grounds will be given over to an afternoon of competitions, refreshments, plant sales and live music from The Mighty Joes.

It’s time to give your rhubarb plants some TLC, to make sure the crop is in peak, competition-winning form when the big day comes!

We would also be delighted to have your help, if you can volunteer for an hour or two, either on the day or in the run-up. Email tweedsmuirsecretary@outlook.com
