Don’t be fooled by its rough-around-the-edges appearance because this piece of land, which borders St Mary’s Church in Oakdale, is a haven for wildlife, a hotbed of fresh produce and, quite possibly, a glimpse into the future.

Tatnam Patch opened the gates for our first full Open Day as part of the Bournemouth and Poole Big Green Fortnight. We welcomed lots of interesting people to the site throughout the day, but had one special early visitor, Brigit Strawbridge, environmental campaigner from the Big Green Idea, who took time out from setting up her bus in Falkland Square to come and look around site.  She spent nearly an hour enthusing about the patch.

We also had lots of other visitors who came along to enjoy the tranquility and find out about the site.

Our asparagus has become overwhelmed with bindweed and other plants, so a new bed, with 10 new crowns, and now with roof-tile sides and a gravel layer was dug in April 2009. Harriet was in charge, with stalwart weeding of bed 2 by Ken and Ruth, and Mark working in the greenhouse.
