Family Hedge Planting, Sunday 13th April

Help Plant a Hedge & Watch it Grow!

Rosi Millar from the Peaslake Farm & Community Garden & Orchard explains…

“Peaslake Community Garden and Peaslake Farm have last minute financial support approved for hedge planting. With 580m of hedging to go in we have a challenge on our hands!

We need it in the ground by the end of this coming weekend to comply with funding rules so please spread the word and come and join us for a fun family day!

Ideally please confirm with me by email on [email protected]

Children Welcome

To keep you fuelled bacon rolls, coffee and other complimentary refreshments will be available throughout the day. An onsite toilet will also be available.

Don’t forget, wellies, spades and suncream!

Community Litter Pick, Sunday 13th April

Spring Community Litter Pick – Let’s Do It Again!

Tillingbourne.Earth and Shere Parish Eco Church are planning our second spring community litter pick - following the success of the one last year!

If we can match last year’s effort—groups and individuals tackling litter together—we’ll remove plastic and waste before it gets trapped in soil or washed into waterways.

Join one of our three active groups in Shere, Albury, and Gomshall (link below), or start your own group — if you would like help we are happy to chat - Call Christian on 07932631033.

We can help provide loan equipment and arrange waste collection with Guildford Borough Council.

Reward yourself with tea & cake in the Old School Room after!
