The Kitchen Garden

March/April 2007

Preparations are in hand for our annual Hen Party, which will take place here in Troston on Saturday 7th April between 10 am and 4pm.

We have a licence from Defra for breeders to show birds this year, so please come and support a jolly day out for the whole family, including an egg hunt for children organized by two Easter Bunnies, homemade refreshments in the Church, and the usual stalls here at the Kitchen Garden selling plants, Simnel cakes, local honeycomb, eggs and poultry equipment. So pray for decent weather.

We have a new book for sale, and Omlet will be showing their exciting recently unveiled henhouse.

Please park carefully in the village where indicated and walk up Church Lane.

Regular visitors will know our limitations, so please be patient.
