Jan Crowe, group secretary, said summer was peak time for the volunteers who were “madly harvesting” fruit and vegetables, but the group would tidy up areas in the autumn and then plan activities for next year when the weather turned cold.
The group also has a community vegetable garden at St James Church where volunteers are harvesting cucumbers, spinach, chard, tomatoes, broad beans and courgettes.
There are also blackcurrant and redcurrant bushes at Aldersons butchers and Ms Beever said: “They belong to the community and the birds. Please pick them when they are ripe.”
Ms Carson said more volunteers were always wanted and people could get in touch via the group’s Facebook page.
Future projects include improving raised beds at the back of Hazeldine Gardens, with more planting planned there.
