The Lincoln Greeners planted some rainbow chard in the veg bed last week. We also potted up some verbena bonariensis which had self-seeded all over the perennial beds & tidied the edges of our wildflower area, making space for ox-eye daisies & other flowers this summer🌸🌼🌺

Next week begins the #JustOneMore campaign encouraging EVERYONE to eat just one more portion of vegetables. And ahead of this, a huge #shoutout to all the schools, clubs & local businesses already involved in the campaign. #VegBingo #VegBox #BuyLocal
