As with some of our partners, Green Skills Library has taken the decision to leave Twitter/X. While no platform is perfect, the increased amount of hate speech and disinformation on Twitter/X is not aligned with our values.

Also at these showings are ECO Action Hub Windsor and Maidenhead, Wild Maidenhead and WildCookham who are happy to chat to you about all things climate change and nature.

What a fantastic local event!

Last night we went to see 'Wilding' at @nordenfarm - a docu-film about the rewilding of @KneppWilding . It was actually really moving and hopeful. I might even have shed a tear or two! Highly recommend you go - there are still tickets at Norden Farm for tonight and tomorrow.

It's available to order here - https://t.co/BPB0P4oDWM with all proceeds going to the Arboricultural Association charity.

All of the related 'Wilding' books are available to order from The Little Bookshop Cookham, who are selling copies of the paperback at the showings.

Hope to see you there!

We're really looking forward to going to see 'Wilding' at @nordenfarm on Tuesday 6th August. Following the hopeful story of rewilding the Knepp estate in Sussex. Tickets are available on the link below and there are showings on other dates as well.

We are so proud of the wonderful group of Friends In Need @mind_in_berkshire. They have coped this past year so admirably with their own needs along with not having a supervisor, coming to the Green Skills Library every week with more confidence week on week.

Yesterday we gave them a planter to decorate a BAM!! did they deliver... Watch this space as these planters are decorated over the forthcoming weeks. Bear in mind that everything that is made at the Green Skills Library comes from donations or materials that are thrown away.

[Green Skills Library @GreenSkillsLib]

Remember we have a free talk coming up next weekend!

The workshop is community led and free, and all are welcome. It will take place at ECO Action Hub Windsor and Maidenhead. Drop us an email at [email protected] to book a place.

We've been building our pallet planters today, along with @raymillisland who want some to keep the plants protected from the hungry geese.
There was lots of #skillssharing, learning and laughter.

Tara also brought some beautiful home made wild radish hummus and bread for a pick me up snack in the middle of the session. 📷
