It was the perfect sunny day yesterday for our EGP roadshow π we came to you in a range of locations across town to chat about garden sharing and especially how to refer older/disabled garden owners for us to find them a volunteer.
We borrowed a brilliant cargo bike from .edinburgh, which meant we were able to peddle our wares (/hot drinks and biscuits for anyone wanting to find out more about EGP) all over Edinburgh.
If you want to find out more about BANZAI and how to use their community bike library, they are having an open day on Saturday 21st March!

Huge thanks to those who came along to our EGPxGorgie Farm SOS yesterday for some hard-core digging (and lifting) to kick off the growing season!
