Our AGM is on Wednesday. Please be advised that if you haven’t already registered, registration is now closed!!

Here’s a date for your diary. Please come along if you can.

This week is Bees’ Needs Week (18-24 July). You can do your bit for our pollinators by following these simple steps:-

• Grow more flowers, shrubs and trees
• Let your garden grow wild
• Cut your grass less often
• Don’t disturb insect nest and hibernation spots
• Think carefully about whether to use pesticides

The best in show garden at this year’s RHS Chelsea flower show, was a garden which took re-wilding as its theme.
