Plant sales, bargain compost, and more!
Join us for our last plant sale in Spring, on Sunday 25th May, 12 pm – 4 pm. Come and get seedlings, plug plants, compost and join a horticultural workshop to help get your food garden flourishing over the coming months.
We will also have delicious seasonal fare on offer, plus a fully stocked farm stall! The timetable and further details for the day are below.
Our open day is our main outlet for selling plants this year as we won’t be selling them online, so this is the place to go if you want to buy plants from us. We will, however, be selling our compost online, so if you can’t make it to our open day and would like to purchase compost from us, you can do so here and collect from our Hawkwood growing site on Fridays.
Timetable for the day
We’ll be inviting visitors to make a suggested donation of a few ££ when they come to help cover the costs of running the open days. Although we can take card payments, we love cash if you can bring it.
Farm stall: Open all day. Stocked with compost, organic seasonal produce (including our signature mixed salad!), OrganicLea merchandise, as well as solidarity goods from further afield.
Plant stall: Open from 12 pm to 3.45 pm. Stocked with salad plugs and seedlings of our regular favourites – tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, kale, peppers, chard… as well as fruit and herbs and plenty of advice too. And all grown in our very own peat-free potting compost mix.
Refreshments: Available all day – hot drinks and delicious vegan cake.
Lunch: Served from 12.30 pm – 2.30 pm. We’ll be in the kitchen cooking up warm meals made with organic and seasonal produce.
Site tour: Running at 1pm and 2pm – book in at the welcome desk. Join us for a walk around Hawkwood to see what we’re growing and learn more about OrganicLea’s work.
Workshops & Activities: Tomato care workshop and family-friendly biodiversity activites.
Directions to our Hawkwood site including bus, rail, and river-cycle routes are here.
Please note: this event is always busy so we prefer to keep the site pedestrianised. Please park off site. A few spaces will be reserved for those with access needs and a pick up point for those buying more plants/compost than they can transport in a wheelbarrow. Wheelbarrows are available to use for taking your goods to your car but will need to be brought back to the site.
