Next event - change of date

Our event about building nest boxes and other animal habitats will now take place on Friday February 15th 2008 instead of November 12th 2007 as advertised. In the meantime you can find a display of books in Dawley library on encouraging birds and other wildlife to your garden which you might like to read over the winter months.

Work is progressing well on the garden. Around 18 volunteers from the Green Gym removed or cut back some of the existing shrubs, a new path was dug out and all the slabs were lifted in preparation for them being relaid at a different angle. Here are some photos of how the garden looks at this stage.

This area will include slabs, a raised bed and seating, with the sensory rainbow walk at the far end.

This will be the storytelling area.

Here's the Green Gym hard at work!

Volunteer event Friday 26th October 10.30am - 12.00 noon

Last Saturday at our 'Meet the designer' event we began thinking about which plants to use in the Sensory Rainbow Walk. We will continue this at our next event which is on Friday 26th October 10.30am - 12.00 noon. This is also an opportunity for you to find out what volunteering opportunites there are, some of which include helping with the planting, making a mural for the wall, a mosaic birdbath as well as helping to maintain parts of the garden once it is completed. We will also be judging the poetry competition.
All are welcome so please drop in for coffee and cakes and find out more.
