Weekly Open Community Garden Session - Bird Survey Week!

Every Friday | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Join us for our weekly community garden session in our beautiful permaculture community garden! Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a complete beginner, everyone is welcome to drop in anytime between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

This Week – Introductory Bird Survey!

In the garden this week we will be conducting an amateur bird survey led by our bird expert El. This is part of a series of biodiversity surveys we are doing throughout the year to document what we have in the garden so we can better support nature in the future! This is a great chance to help a good cause while learning about birds and how you can survey your own garden or local park. All experience levels welcome. The bird survey will start at 11am.

Please ring the doorbell marked ‘Office’ to be let in. 

Our garden features raised beds, a polytunnel, and a greenhouse, offering plenty of opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with nature. Throughout the day, you can:

  • Help with gardening tasks and learn new skills.
  • Participate in occasional workshops led by our gardener or community members, focusing on specific projects or techniques.
  • Explore our seed library and become a part of our growing community of seed savers.
  • Meet like-minded people, share ideas, and enjoy the outdoors.
