It's our annual Christmas Concert with the Friends of Whinfell Quarry Garden at Whirlow Brook Hall on Monday 15th December 5-6pm. The Salvation Army will play carols and a collection will be held for all the great work they do. Mulled wine and mince pies will be served. #carols
Despite the rain, we had an incredible turnout today for our hedge planting session for #NationalTreeWeek. We had around 40 volunteers (the most ever) including a lovely group from The Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) who regularly volunteer in parks in Sheffield.
Fancy getting involved? We are holding an Open Morning in our Community Orchard next Saturday 29th from 10.00am. Come along to plant a native hedge, tools provided or bring your own. Or come along for a chat to find out more and how to get involved. Hot drinks and cake provided
Thank you to our Chair Sir Martyn Lewis CBE for your kind words!
