The film documents the growing seasons and biodiversity of the Tolhurst vegetable business over a twelve month period. Running time 124mins. MERL’s opening hours are:
The plot thickens. A uniform is most sort after for the Community Gardener and will be under construction sometime soon…..
Herbs were planted at the Allotment Plot at MERL; sage, garlic chives, mint, roots scavenged from the somewhat altered Herb Garden at the Fine Art Department.
Digital images were taken of peas, broad beans, onions, garlic, and spinach pushing through the soil as the plot thickens.

They are not clothed in horticultural fleece, how long will they survive without protection?
