As I mentioned in an earlier post there is lots to look forward to in 2009. This post offers a taste of what’s in store.
31st January 2009 -Our first Townhead dig of the new year. We’ll be meeting at the site at 11:30am.
28th February 2009 -Townhead Dig. Meeting at the site at 11:30am.
28th March 2009- Townhead Dig. Meeting at the site at 11:30am.
4th April 2009-Nasturtium Day! Inspired by the wonderful international Sunflower Day we have decided to launch Nasturtium Day in tribute to this easy to grow, edible and attractive little wonder. The time and place for this meet are yet to be decided so keep an eye on this page for updates and start stockpiling nasturtium seeds in preparation.
25th April 2009- Townhead dig, usual time and place.
1st May 2009 -International Sunflower Day. Meeting place etc still to be decided and will be announced nearer the time. In the meantime find out more about Sunflower Day here and here.

27th June 2009- Townhead Dig. Usual time and place.
25th July 2009- Townhead Dig. Usual time and place.

31st October 2009- Townhead Dig. Usual time and place.
28th November 2009 -Townhead dig -Last tidy up before Christmas and New Year. Usual time and place.
This is just a taste of what’s to come. They’ll also be digs arranged throughout the year for other sites and more than a few evening digs when the light nights come in.
Thanks to all who helped out in 2008. We hope to see you all again in 2009.

Pupils from two south side schools, Shawlands Academy and Hutchesons’ Grammar are joining forces this term to map green spaces in the area covered by Langside, Battlefield and Strathbungo Community Council. We aim to identify, map and photograph fragile or neglected zones and then, in partnership with the Council, help with planting and restoration. If we can help with some of your plans for 2009 we shall; if you want to find out more about our map project, please let us know.
