When: First Saturday of every month, 10:30-12:00, rain or shine

Where: Village Square at Orford & Eden Roads

What: Meet your neighbours and help beautify the neighbourhood. We pick up litter, remove graffiti, and depending on the season, plant bulbs, cut back hedges, or trim roses

Plant & Seed Swap

Sat 4 April, 10:30-1:00pm

Join us with your family and friends at the junction of Orford Road and Church End to sow the meadow by the Ancient House with a mix of pollinator-friendly seeds. The area will be divided into squares and you’ll each be given a cup of seeds to sow in your own square. Watch it bloom in the weeks ahead!

Bring your excess seeds, plants and seedlings, terracotta pots, gardening books and magazines and swap them for something different. Horticultural experts will be on hand to identify plants and give advice.

We’ll be selling handmade gifts and cards to raise funds for more pollinator-friendly plants.
