We've still got lots more happening this November, here's your reminder of our sessions 👇

No gardening experience required, all equipment provided and sessions overseen by our gardener. Simply head along on the day, or email [email protected]

At the flowerbeds down by the river, we've removed the old summer bedding and planted a mix of bulbs including tulips and fritillaria, which will make a colourful display next spring 🌷

If you're interested in attending some of our upcoming sessions, email [email protected]

The weather may be getting colder, but we've still been busy with our Green Space sessions! Last month our volunteers helped us to plant trees and shrubs at the Woollett Street site. These will create food sources and homes to attract more birds and insects to the site! 🐦

If you are interested in joining our sessions, contact [email protected]. No prior gardening experience required, all equipment and knowledge provided by our gardener.

Our seasonal planting is well underway but there is still lots to do as we head in to November. 🍁🍂 Please join us if you can to help with planting lots of bulbs, shrubs, and trees in the town centre’s green spaces. All sessions are from 10am – 12pm and led by Involve’s experienced gardener.

Either turn up at one of the sessions above, or email [email protected] to find out more. No experience or equipment required.
