Thanks to a donation from the trust's charitable fund, we are moving ahead with the picnic area refurbishment as soon as the weather allows! Proposals for additional work have been sent to interested parties for comments. Thank you for your votes - we will keep you posted! :-)

It's been a difficult year and we haven't been able to get out into the garden as much as we had hoped - looking towards 2021, where should we focus our efforts first? #teamguild

Pleasure and honour to represent @FriendsLodge #teamguild at today's 'Space to Breathe' event hosted by @SusHealthcare - https://t.co/84QrXTAFEh

Including plants in a bare front garden could reduce your stress levels as much as 8 weekly mindfulness sessions 🌱

We’ve published new research with @LandscapeSheff @uniwestminster @UVA which found that greener front gardens make people happier and more relaxed

Plant a tree of hope this autumn and #GrowAtHome 🌳

Trees can bring us so much happiness, and we’re delighted to share this message from Dame Judi Dench about the joy trees bring her in her own garden.

What better sign of hope for the future than planting a tree?
