Lots of intererest in our open day as part of the Poole and Bournemouth Big Green Fortnight, around 50 people visited the site, lots of interesting questions.
Ruth and Ken kept the kettle on the brew. Mark and Andy led groups on tours around the site, Harriet welcomed people in, Manuella was ever ready with the camera, and Kate and Jamie did a bit of weeding to demonstrate we don’t just stand and talk.
Linda and Karen laid out a stall in aid of the WWF, which also benefitted from the plant sales. Harriet also had a stall for Transiton Town Poole, and several of the conversations ranged widely on some of the topics of Transition – food, energy, oil and climate change.

It seemed the same 3 intrepid children had an endless supply of questions for Mark on mini-beasts.

The weather held well for us until it came time to pack up.
