This Thursday, Emmeline Simpson re-scheduled, plus, gardeners chance to be on TV

Don't forget we have re-scheduled the February meeting which will now take place this Thursday 27th February 2014 at the United Reformed Church Hall, Whittox Lane, Frome from 7.30pm.

Are you a keen kitchen gardener? Do you have an allotment? Would you like to be on TV?

Silver River Productions, a TV company based in London are currently in production for a BBC2 primetime gardening show ‘The Big Allotment Challenge’. The series follows a handful of talented amateur kitchen gardeners as they transform a plot of earth into a patch of beauty and reveal all the wonderful possibilities that can be unlocked from allotment growing. Kitchen gardening and growing your own produce is an amazing way to live and this series celebrates that.

They are looking for contestants to feature in the series, those who have the skill and dedication and who could dig their way to victory and be crowned the winner of The Big Allotment Challenge. People who can cultivate the perfect carrot, make their green tomatoes into award winning chutney and turn their dahlias and sweet peas into floral arrangements fit for a Queen. So whether you’re an allotment holder, a city living window box grower or a gardening enthusiast, we want to hear from you.

It couldn’t be easier to apply; all you need to do is email grow@silverriver.tv for an application form. Let's get Frome gardeners on TV!

We look forward to seeing you Thursday evening, please pass on this message to any WI friends you have.
