Settling in a waterlily – for summer flowering. And our pond is full of tadpoles! Thank you to Magic Little Grants

The garden and woodland illustrated

Come and visit – see our spring bulbs and blossom. We have a ‘Signs of Spring’ spotter sheet for children.

We need volunteers to help with planting English Bluebells in the greenhouse, cutting back brambles and removing the invasive 3-cornered leek. And you can help with potting up plants for our new wildlife pond, funded by Magic Little Grants. Everyone welcome! Tea and cakes provided.

Creating a fence to encourage visitors to keep to the path in the meadow. Flexible branches form a woven fence.

Little Explorers are enjoying spring in Olden Garden! They have been making leaf art, growing food from vegetable scraps that would otherwise be thrown away and starting on chitting their potatoes.

Come and enjoy the signs of spring – daffodils, snowdrops and wild crocuses! Help with sowing Welsh poppy seeds and planting hawthorn hedge. Art and craft materials will be available for family activities. Or just drop in and walk in the woodland.

Thank you to the young volunteer helping us plant our new hawthorn hedge at the bottom of the meadow.

Thank you to I Dig Trees for donating the hawthorn. Our meadow regeneration project is part-funded with a grant from Groundwork’s Our Space Award

Our butterfly masks are a popular craft activity – more will be available in February.
