The Wassail was a great success - We'll put up pictures soon, but in the meantime, you can see January's own shots of the day here. You might also like to listen to January and March's podcast about their preparations for the event.
Go to the Events page for more information, or to the Gallery for pictures from last year's Wassail. What's happening now?
The sap is dropping with the temperatures, which means it's time to prune the trees. This will be the main focus of the next few Volunteer Days.
We’re planning to plant patches of lavender and marjoram, and to grow honeysuckle up some of the older trees to help feed the bees through the summer. If you can donate any of these, we’d be grateful! You can get in touch by email, or phone: 07532 472256 . |
