Despite the promise of ‘sunny intervals’ last Sunday, the sun unfortunately failed to materialise at Glenfinart Walled Garden’s Harvest Fair. However, the dry weather still brought out the crowds to Ardentinny’s community garden.
Visitors were welcomed with a refreshing glass of fresh apple juice from the garden’s orchard, which was still heaving from this years abundant crop. The stalls were as usual very busy, with the tombola, preserves and bottle stalls being particularly popular!
To tempt the palate, the garden’s volunteers always make a great effort to satisfy the hungry hoards, this year offering a particularly tasty (and garden-grown) vegetable curry, veggie soup, burgers and hot dogs as well as a wide assortment of home-baked cakes served in the tea cabin.
As usual, the ever youthful Elderly Brothers, along with their guest performers provided the excellent entertainment with an eclectic selection of music from their rendition of The Black Velvet Band to Bob Dylan favourites.
The Ardentinny Community Trust garden relies 100% on volunteers, and is always on the lookout for more people who can devote a few hours each week to caring for this delightful community garden. If you’re interested, get in touch with the secretary at sec@glenfinartgarden.org.
