OCCOMBE PROJECT RECEIVES SUPPORT FROM TOP
GARDEN TOOL MAKERS
Occombe Farm, Paignton, are proud to announce sponsorship of their One Planet Food Project by garden tool specialists - Burgon & Ball.Burgon & Ball are providing Occombe with a large supply of quality children's gardening tools for local visiting schools, including small hand tools, digging spades and forks, watering cans, trugs, claw cultivators, hand hoes, daisy grubbers and herb planting bags. The new project at Occombe Farm is moving quickly - a second straw bale building has been constructed to house a community kitchen and classroom; and the hard landscaping on the community garden has recently been completed, with the first crops due to be harvested next month. Along with a team of volunteers, Occombe's Grower Emily Vevers has been busily planting and sowing herbs, flowers, fruit and vegetables. The garden is open to the public seven days a week and will soon become a site for running lots of growing activities, classes, courses and events with school children and local community groups. Emily said "I love Burgon and Ball's range of tools for children. They are of the highest quality and built to last. I am excited about children using them in our new and exciting community garden at Occombe. I would like to say a big thank you to Burgon and Ball for kindly supporting our project."
