Pests in the Vegetable Garden

A talk by Kate Collyns
for Freshford & District Gardening Club

Wednesday 12th November 2025: 7.30pm

Freshford Village Memorial Hall

Kate Collyns set up Hartley Farm in Winsley following a two-year Soil Association Horticultural Apprenticeship. Salads, herbs, vegetables, flowers and soft fruit are grown following organic standards and Grown Green is a member of the Wholesome Food Association (WFA). She is the author of ‘Gardening for Profit: From Home Plot to Market Garden’ and will bring copies of her book, some salad bags and pumpkins to sell.

It’s really important to take a moment to note and celebrate when things are going well – or at least, better than last year! The 2024 season was a very challenging growing year: wet and cold start, wet and cold middle, wet wet end, with the result that yields in many crops were down significantly – and that was last year! Growers have also had a tricky time this year for the exact opposite reason (lack of water, too much drying sun). Kate will give us some guidance on how to control the pests in our vegetables the organic way.

Members free. Visitors £5.00. Everyone welcome.

My Life in Ruins

A talk by Andrew Ziminsky
for Freshford & District Local History Society

Wednesday 26th November 2025: 7.30pm

Freshford Village Memorial Hall

In his thirty-year career, stonemason Andrew Ziminski has worked on many of our greatest monuments. From Neolithic monoliths to Roman baths and temples, from the tower of Salisbury Cathedral to the engine houses, mills and aqueducts of the Industrial Revolution and beyond. He writes: “My school history lessons were focused around flat pages of facts, events and royal personalities, but for me it was the material aspects of the past, the tangible remnants left behind that were thrilling, and that it was these buildings and places, and learning how they worked, that really brought the past alive.”

This talk replaces the one planned for 26th November as Sonja Rogers is unable to come.

Members free. Visitors £3.00. Everyone welcome.
