On Sunday 25th May 2025 we celebrated spring at the V\u00e6res Venners Community garden in Trondheim with a pot-luck party (kurvfest) and although the wind was strong there was no rain, unlike the days on either side. My contribution as usual was a diversity salad, this time based only on ingredients harvested in the World Garden (Verdenshagen) with roseroot (rosenrot) flowers in the centre and decorated with plants organised geographically as in the garden itself! The list of 89 plants used can be found here. <\/a>As usual there were a diversity of dishes provided by other members, many with home grown or foraged ingredients. The party started with a talk by my friend Jurgen Wegter of Fagerli Naturg\u00e5rd in Vanvikan (on the other side of the fjord and just visible from V\u00e6re) on biodiversity and what we can do to help in particular wild bees. Jurgen wrote a report for us Tiltaksplan for biologisk mangfold <\/a>giving us advice as to what we can do to help and increase the biodiversity of the community garden.<\/p>\n
