The Bridge Community Garden: Harvest Lights

Some of our wonderful pumpkins. At our Harvest Lights half-term event, which is FREE the children will be harvesting pumpkins and haricot beans, making soup and bread rolls and carving the pumpkins. They will also be making chocolate dipped apples. There will be firework collage making, lantern making, snail racing and garden activities. Indoor and outdoor fun. We even have some raincoats and wellies for the kids! A local lady is coming in to cook us a homemade curry and there will be pumpkin pie and butternut squash muffins for sale. We will also be selling our organic vegetables fresh from the garden. Anything that doesn't sell is being donated to the soup kitchens for homeless people. Harvest Lights 28th Oct 10am - 3pm The Bridge Community Centre. Free.

Second photo down shows Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric, which isn't poisonous but is psychoactive. The third photo from bottom is the birch bolete or scaber stalk bolete. This is edible. I don't know the other varieties. My Lithuanian relatives would go wild mushroom picking, I want to carry on the tradition so am learning the identify them.
