Don't forget to stock up on our very own Triangle Garden Apple Juice to get you through the party season! It's ideal to take to parties especially for the drivers in your life, and can be made into a delicious non-alcoholic punch by adding sparkling water and a slurp of elderflower cordial (3:2:1 water:juice:cordial).
For all you butterfly lovers out there, we're delighted to announce that the beautiful hand-painted designs created by local illustrator Polly Wyer, depicting five UK butterflies found at the Triangle Garden, are now available as art prints.
Digitally printed onto high quality watercolour paper, these prints look stunning on the wall and make perfect presents. They come unframed in various sizes from 30cm square to A3, and will fit standard sized frames available from local hardware stores.
This autumn we have launched a set of greetings cards depicting the butterflies found at the Triangle Garden. Printed from hand-painted originals by local illustrator Polly Wyer, they are perfect for any greetings occasion, from birthday to a simple thank you.
We have a limited number of these beautiful and informative 'apple bibles' available for purchase. Please read Vicky Wyer's review on these wonderful books below:
My original copy of 'Apples a Field Guide' has been a well loved and well thumbed source of interest and information on all aspects of apples for me, since I bought it from the author Michael Clark around the time of the Triangle Garden's first Apple Day back in October 2003.
Once again you can support the Triangle Garden by buying our lovely Christmas cards, designed by one of our Growing Ability gardeners, Holly Calcraft. Holly has created four intricate and colourful designs on seasonal themes, which we're selling in packs of eight, two of each design per pack. The cards are A6 size on 350g silk finish card, and come with envelopes.
We are very proud of Holly's artistic contribution to our fundraising efforts and Holly is very proud that her designs can help to raise money for Growing Ability, our social therapeutic horticulture project.
All the big names in the apple world were on display at our Apple Day in Hitchin town centre on 17th October, together with a mouth-watering selection of pears and quinces.
On a beautiful balmy evening in October we gathered at Ransoms Pavilion for our annual Bat Walk and talk, hosted by local bat expert Roger Havard of the Herts and Middlesex Bat Group.
The Triangle Garden took on a decidly ghoulish aspect this Hallowe'en to the delight and dread of the youngest members of the local community.
On July 17th we held a very special celebration evening for everyone involved with the Triangle Garden over its 15 year history. As well as celebrating our 15th anniversary we were also marking the completion of our Treasured Spaces project, and the first phase of our Forest Garden (more about that in the next article).
As well as celebrating our 15th anniversary and the completion of our Treasured Spaces project, this year we celebrated the Triangle Garden’s Forest Garden project, the first phase of which was funded by Waitrose Hitchin.
