Thank you to Howden’s volunteers
Maria led an energetic group of volunteers from Howden’s Insurance who repositioned the collapsed sleepers along the path and cleared brambles in the orchard. Thank you to the BIG Alliance for arranging another wonderful group of volunteers.
A Magic Little Grant!
We are very pleased to receive a grant from Local Giving’s Magic Little Grants to create a wildlife pond. The pond will promote sustainability and encourage species diversity, using harvested water, with plants that clean and filter it. Join our volunteers on Tuesdays, to help create the pond.

Thank you to Tree Matters for delivering a dump of bark
Thank you to Tree Matters for donating the bark. It was scooped up by volunteers and taken into Olden Garden and will be spread on our paths and steps.
