Come to the Town Mill Garden Party on Sunday 21 April between 10.00 a.m. and 1.00 p.m. but be prepared to roll your sleeves up. Town Mill volunteers Bobbie Smith and Kimberly Clarke are organising a volunteer garden working party to get the garden back in shape for a garden party and plant sale on Saturday 22 June.
The Miller’s Garden located behind the Town Mill courtyard has been designed to re-create a 17th century garden. The plan creates four raised beds around a mulberry tree at their centre. Gravel paths separate the beds and join a 4ft wide path encircling the garden. Wherever possible, the aim is to use plants that would have been available to the miller and his wife in the 17th century.
Bobbie and Kimberley hope to attract new garden volunteers. There will be follow up sessions at the same time on Sunday 19 May and Sunday 16 June so anyone who loves plants and doesn’t mind giving a few hours on one or more of these days will be very welcome. And if you don’t fancy gardening but have some plants to donate to the plant sale just come along to the garden party on 22 June.
Anyone interested in volunteering should contact The Town Mill at info@townmill.org.uk or on 01297 443579

Less than 2 weeks to go until the opening of my art exhibition ‘IN FULL VIEW’ at the Malthouse Gallery (Town Mill) in Lyme. The theme of the exhibition is ‘Life in all its Fullness’ and it runs over the Easter holidays; from Thursday 4th – Sunday 14th April 2013.
In addition to my paintings and textiles by my friend Marjorie, there will also be some activities for the family to join in with – jewellery making, tile painting, and knitting to name but a few! Let me know if you would like to join to use the space creatively to bless others.
On Friday 12th April at 2pm Lyme Voices Community Choir have kindly agreed to sing there too. Please bring along your friends and publicise widely – Many thanks!

One of the important tasks for TMAG in 2013 is getting our publicity sorted out – since we lost our publicist a couple of years ago, it has been difficult to manage! We are having an informal get-together and workshop in the gallery on the evening of 23rd January, for you to share your ideas and expertise.
If you have any experience of marketing, publicity or social media, why not come along and share your ideas? ; or if you are just keen to help, you will be very welcome too. We are not looking to press-gang you – just to get some ideas and perhaps the odd hour to help out on a specific task.
Please email info@townmillartsguild.com if you wish to come (snow permitting!)
