Nursery Area

The Gardening Club have been busy,  they have planted out the border outside the Nursery and with all the rain we have had this week they have bedded in well.  We planted a Clematis over the wire, which will flower in Summer,  a mixture of colourful bedding plants between the spiria shrubs that were already there.

Today as part of the Calne Summer Festival week, JBS Best went along to the Community Cycle Event held at Calne Leisure Centre.  We went along to support Calne Fairtrade Group,

Fairtrade Town
Click here to find out about Fairtrade



A recently formed group which is supported by the Town Council and The Community Area Partnership. There are already nine towns in Wiltshire that have achieved their Fairtrade status.  To achieve this status Calne will have to show that we have local outlets providing and using Fairtrade products. Raising Awarness for local business, schools and local organisations, and to encourage them to use Fairtrade products.

We spoke to over 40 individuals today, who signed our questionnaire, which asked if they used fairtrade products at home and every person we spoke to did.  Out of those only 8 of them knowingly used Fairtrade products at work.
