Needless to say; nothing of any kind from the Congelow Trust – but the following, found on the web yesterday…
“… Bek’s brother is taking over the former Yalding Organic Gardens, with cafe and farm shop…”
We know Twitter may not be everybody’s ‘cup of tea’; but it is a fantastic way to get news, event details, gardening tips and goodness-knows what else, delivered directly onto your computer. (For example; all updates to yaldingorganicgardens.info are automatically ‘tweeted’ to our ‘followers’ as soon as they are published.)
So please come and join the 100+ individuals and organisations that are already following us on Twitter, at http://twitter.com/YaldingOrganicG
Increasingly worried about what we see and hear (or don’t hear) about Yalding’s future; on 31 January, we e-mailed our contact at the Congelow Trust, setting-out a number of those concerns.
Not having received a reply; we sent another e-mail continue reading…
Almost got excited for a moment there! We just received an e-mail promoting the ‘Gardeners’ World, Gardens to Visit Vote 2010′ – which apparently now has more gardens and four categories …
Needless to say; no sign of Yalding on the list of candidates – which is of course no real surprise!
Anyway; for anyone who is interested, there is more about it on the Gardeners’ World website; and we will keep our fingers crossed that maybe Yalding can be included next year.
Another comment posted on the recent Kent and Sussex Courier article (here):
“I have very much enjoyed visiting the Organic Gardens and am saddened to hear of this future development. Let’s hope that somehow someone who has an idea of how to run an operation such as this can be appointed and it be turned back into the success it used to be.”
