Plant Sale – Thursday 14th May

We’re hosting a plant sale on Thursday, 14th May. We hope you can pop in!

Our Gardens pop-up shop will be outside our Camphill Community Cafe, open from 10am-3pm.

We’ll have a range of vegetables, including cucumbers, flowers such as lavender, and other plants, alongside Camphill MK produce, grown and made on-site. As well as our handmade obelisks, planted with sweet pea ‘Spencer Mix’. These are sturdy plants, overwintered in our Polytunnel, ready for an early show of scent and colour.

About Our Gardens Workshop

The Camphill MK garden workshop allows our service users to learn how to plant, grow, and care for plants, and to harvest fruit and vegetables. We also have a mature soft-fruit orchard and fruit trees. Our polytunnels are productive for the majority of the year, during which we grow soft green leaves, herbs, and salad vegetables. This space is also used for propagating, pricking out and raising seedlings.
We are in the stages of developing a brand-new garden in our Round House Paddock. We welcome corporate volunteers to provide people power to help us achieve some more significant development projects. This includes building new beds, maintaining existing raised beds, and managing our edible forest and vegetation.

We are environmentally kind, following organic and biodynamic methods without chemicals. Many of our raised beds were created using the ‘lasagne’ method, with old cardboard and woodchips that might otherwise have ended up in landfills.
The work in our gardens varies, with many tasks ranging from weeding to planting, harvesting, and storing. The garden group also undertakes plant care and maintains the green spaces across our site. Our produce is incorporated into the Café and bakery products and enjoyed in our homes.
