Peter and Kirsty Christopher, Tayport Community Garden’s Community Gardeners, teamed up this workshop on 15th of November to share tips for winter gardening tasks which will get your veggie garden growing and productive next year. We were shown around the Community Garden and 10 workshop participants had all their gardening questions answered.
