Home-grown lettuces, onions, tomatoes, garlic and potatoes were up for sale, while there was also a raffle, and 'guess the weight of the cake' competition. Organiser Mo Townsend said the cash from regular cream tea events helped to keep the project alive. Three more are planned from 11am-1pm on June 27, July 16 and August 13, with everyone welcome.
The plot off Embankment Road already boasts a 30ft polytunnel, a picnic area, kitchen and the city's first 'green roofs'.
