This Saturday 19th September, 11:30 and 12:30, come along with your children/grandchildren to help us track the biodiversity in our garden! Our Community Gardener will show you where to throw a grid down on the ground and count how many different plants and insects you can spot! Each year we’ll monitor the same areas and see if we’ve increased the numbers, which is good for our garden, town & planet! It’s free & fun – please come and help us.
We will be running this year’s season of Walled Garden Talks over a number of Tuesday lunchtimes in our lovely garden in September. Our theme this year is “Finding your Direction”.
Our final one is Tuesday 22nd September from 12:00 – 12:30. Local artist Jessica Perry will be with us to talk about her artistic endeavours and how she found her direction.
