This Thursday 13th July Grow Your Community wants to make this area of Belle Vue Park lovely.
Grow Your Community needs your help to bring any plants that suit part sun, part shade. Meet at 11am in the woodlands near Ingrams Park Road (parking there too). Thank you. It will also make the park look a bit better for Party in the Park!
Posted on behalf of Grow Your Community Sudbury.
On Monday 19th June, 2pm – 3.30 pm, the Grow Your Community team will be at Siam Gardens to tend the flowers there.As ever all are welcome to join the group of gardening volunteers at Siam Gardens once a month and at the two weekly regular gardening sessions as well:

Just off Friars Street is a narrow lane leading to some delightful ‘guerilla’ gardening. Bullocks Lane and Bullocks Terrace have been transformed by individuals who have taken on the task of making their town more beautiful.
On Thursday, I went along to meet Sue Lawson who planted up and maintains the long strip of garden on Bullocks Terrace. Dan Wheals, Sudbury’s ‘Grow Your Community’ co-ordinator, and Lorna Hoey from the Sudbury Society, who recently launched their Love Sudbury campaign, were already hard at work when I arrived. Within an hour we had completed all the weeding, filled a wheely bin, and had a lovely chat. The garden, unsurprisingly, drew compliments from various passersby.
Sue already has her sights set on the small strip of land just around the corner – and if you would like to help Sue with that or the existing garden, you can contact her via greener Sudbury, Dan or Lorna (please click on the links above, highlighted in green, to find contact details).
We plan to fit in another extra Friday Tidy at the end of this week, to sort out the tubs at the back of Roy’s on Great Eastern Road (across from the back entrance to Thing-me-Bobs). Another one that is ideal if you aren’t too keen on kneeling!
New faces always welcome – just come along ready for some gardening!
A fun, free event at Belle Vue Park – bring along a hard-boiled egg (and a picnic) and join in the eggy fun!
Dan Wheals, the new ‘Grow Your Community’ co-ordinator for Sudbury, has asked if anyone has any clean egg shells and/or egg boxes for planting up – as large a piece of egg shell as possible please!
Take them along to Dan at Belle Vue Park between 10am and noon, and why not join in with some community gardening there at the same time?
Alternatively, drop them off with us at the Kingfisher Friday Tidy on 7th April if you are passing or coming to help out – we will be there between 10am and noon.
ps How many of you said the title out loud, and sounded just like Sean Connery? Just me then…
A big hello to all who stopped at our stall in the Town Hall! It was lovely to meet so many people interested in joining us to help make Sudbury greener.
Why not pop along to Siam Gardens this Friday, 10 March, to say hello and see what we do? We will be there at roughly 10:00 – 11:00am, before moving on to the raised beds outside the entrance to the Kingfisher Leisure Centre at around 11:00-12 noon. The edible bed needs a bit of a tidy up and we will take a fresh look at the wildflower bed.
A quick reminder that Darren Lerigo’s talk is on Sunday afternoon, 12 March at the Quay Theatre – it promises to be an interesting and useful talk. We hope to see you there.
Paul Read of Suffolk Traditional Orchard Group will be running a fruit tree grafting course at SWT Foxburrow Farm near Woodbridge on 18th Feb 2017. If you’d like to book, please contact Paul at
