| 💛S T U D I O U P D A T E !💛 Thanks to everyone for the support over the last few months as we work out our current space situation. We’ve had some positive discussions with our landlords at Bike For Good and are hoping to find a way to stay at the yard in Langside Lane alongside finding a bigger indoor space to host our studio going forwards. We’ll keep you updated as the situation develops but we’re delighted to be able to host our Spring programme here in the yard. We’ve got lots lined up for April, a Spring Social, Yard Play, our Gardening Club and more! S P R I N G E V E N T S ! Spring Yard Social 9th April 1-4pm Langside Lane Save the date! On Sunday 9th April we’ll be out in the yard for a Spring Social. A chance for everyone to catch up and see each other, or to meet a new Rumpus friend. Everyone welcome, dress for the weather! We’ll be doing some Spring sorting, gardening, making and eating together. Drop by for a hello. 🐛🕷🌻🌞  Image description & credit: Rumpus Yard in full bloom, people drawing in the background.

Garden Club (aimed at over 12s) Every Wednesday 4-5pm Rumpus Yard, Langside Lane We have been BUSY in the garden! Three sessions in we have planted some sleeping garlic into our Mediterranean bed, tidied up amongst the strawberries, saved some self-seeded mooli and sown tomatoes, marigolds and echinacea in seed trays. We have also turned new manure into the beds, seen lots of worms, cleared out the shed (finally), started a new compost, cleared the lane leading up to our gate to plant wildflower seeds there and (most importantly) eaten a lot of soup. Phew, a lot gets done when you work together! If you’d like to get involved, or just keep us company as we garden, come down next Wednesday. Or the one after that!  Two of our yard beds are managed by Plant Grow Share, a local organisation that distributes surplus produce from allotment & back garden growers and delivers it to community groups and food banks. Go check them out! Image description & credit: Last year’s harvest, three figures are picking greens in the Rumpus Yard. |
