This Saturday we’ll be Ace of Clubs helping with their garden renovation project - and there’s lots to do! Fancy coming along to lend a hand? We’d love to hear from you! There’ll be refreshments mid-morning and soup at the end of the session.

A fantastic morning with a big group of volunteers at Ace of Clubs, planting fruit trees, pruning existing plants and clearing weeds ready for the new growing season. 🌲 It was brilliant to be back and work more on this great green space for an incredibly important charity.

Clearing up at the end of yesterday's great collaboration between Ace of Clubs & Bandstand Beds A large team cleared and pruned before planting fruit trees in Ace's green haven. Great to see everyone smiling in the morning's sunshine!

A wonderful session this morning as we celebrated Capital Growth‘s #GoodtoGrow2024 with seed sharing and sowing. 💚 The overcast weather didn’t stop the garden from being busy and full of life, as new and old faces bonded over a love for food growing and homemade cake!

The #dementia friendly #Wildtimes group have been exploring the small pond at @bandstandbeds & surveying what they have found. Small urban ponds such as this one can be full of life, & a great haven for breeding amphibians.

A great morning at the garden yesterday - particularly sprucing up our beds by the Bandstand! We planted lots of flowers perfect for pollinators, including a host of sunflowers! 🌻

The #LeapingForwardForDementia #WildTimers have encountered a huge diversity of #wildlife in the Bandstand Beds community garden. Even in relatively small #gardens, #ponds, #hibernacula, #wildflower borders & other wildlife-friendly spaces can do wonders for #biodiversity!
