January 2021 - CLOSED to volunteers
But you can still get involved - see below
Grozone Seed Swap
Outside the gates of Grozone, accessible to everyone is a box that has seeds in!
Come and collect a seed packet and leave some for someone else if you have spares left from last year. Please use the hand sanitizer provided, don’t make a special journey- just stop by on your daily exercise and please make sure the lid is back on the seed box properly so the seeds don’t get damp!
Please only leave seeds that you think will germinate, very old seed is unlikely to grow and that will cause great disappointment for growers!
Its a great way to have a wider variety of seeds for us to grow in our own gardens, new vegetable varieties to try and a way of not ending up with heaps of seeds that wont keep!
Grozone Pea Competition 2021
If you want to join in with the competition please email your address to Caroline on caroline.rose@groundwork.org.uk and you will receive some pea seeds. Anyone can enter.
The categories for the competition are:
1) Tallest Pea Plant
2) Plant with the most peas on it
3) Pea pod with the most peas in
The variety is "Lord Leicester" a heritage variety which we grew with great success at Grozone in 2018. They are heavy croppers and delicious peas.
The pea seeds will come with basic planting instructions but feel free to grow as you feel best!
Please only enter the pea seeds your are sent to the competition so that it is fair! But don't let this stop you growing all sorts of exciting peas and beans alongside your competition winners!!!
