Old Park Farm Garden Holders Association

Without labour nothing prospers. – Sophocles

A Summer Reminder

24th Jul 2017 by Dogbury

Hello Everybody. Its that time of the year when i need to remind you of the Councils requirements of your tenancy agreement. Gardens should now be at least 50 % cultivated and that means with fruit, vegetables or flowers. Grass does not count. Weeds should be as under control as possible and hedges should have or be in the process of being trimmed and neatened in preparation for a good cut in the Autumn. The requirement of the council is that hedges should be 5ft high, we allow a neat 6ft if the hedgerow is mixed or has a wire fence in it, which would stop cutting to the required height. The council inspection this year asked us to remove any barbed wire around gates and any in hedges, so please start this process. If you have a problem complying with any of the above or are thinking of giving up your garden i would appreciate knowing as soon as possible. I shall be doing my own checks over the next week and certainly some letters will be going out asking for improvements to ensure an offer of a tenancy for October.

Don’t forget the BBQ on Saturday 2nd September, further details will follow.
