BBQ & Members Show

Date : Sunday 25th July 2010.

Venue: Brook Road Allotment, Brook Road, Kinson, Bournemouth, Dorset

Event Summary: A chance for anyone interested in gardening to visit our quiet site in north Bournemouth. Possibly the most secluded in the area, two sides of the site are bounded by a briar and blackthorn hedge which acts as host to a wide variety of wild life. Add to that the locally nesting Buzzards, the Woodpeckers and the odd visiting Heron and Sparrow Hawk, and the close proximity of Kinson Common there is a wealth of diverse wildlife to be seen, as well as the various methods of cultivation employed by tenants of the site. All visitors are most welcome. A chance for all members and their families to get together, have a chat and enter into some friendly rivalry with fellow plot holders and win prizes for the best vegetables and exhibits in show.
