Forest Garden workday
Saturday 8th December 11am – 2pm
Everybody is welcome at the Multifaith Forest Garden team workday. The workday will include mulching fruit trees and bushes, fruit tree husbandry and general maintenance. The garden is really starting to look great despite the approach of winter and there will be another chance for a guided walk around the garden for those who haven’t visited before.
Tim Shortland, the Community Forestry manager, will be at the entrance of the car park on Cooks Wood Road/Shirecliffe Road from 10.45am.
Please feel free to contact him for more information, on 0114 273 4190.
