Menopause Meet Up (3rd Sunday of each month)
With Menopause Meet Up
At Hollybush Garden
Activity description
The Menopause Meet Up, a group to enable mutual support, to try nature-based activities and explore natural strategies for managing this time of life. Every month we focus on a topic related to the menopause that we discuss and share experiences of. We do a nature-based activity using natural materials to improve wellbeing and relaxation. Activities have included willow weaving, ivy basket making, creating flower balms and sleep mists, using plants from the garden to do hapa zome, printing, and cooking on a fire. Described by some of attendees as their calm in the storm of both menopause and life!

With York Practical Conservation - Weekend
At TCV York Office (THCC)
Activity description
We run practical conservation tasks in various locations in York and the surrounding area from 10am-4.30pm on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. Transport is provided from Tang Hall Community Centre and the University Library bus stop on University Road. No experience necessary. The work varies from season to season. In winter you could be tree planting, hedge laying, or creating and maintaining ponds and wetlands; whilst in summer you could be constructing wildlife areas in schools, creating footpaths, making hay, or undertaking invasive species control. If you want to get involved in practical work outdoors, learn new skills (or share old ones!) and work with a fun and friendly group then come and join in.

Tool Maintenance Day!
With Richmond Weekday Projects
At TCV Tool Shed Grove Gardens Teddington
Activity description
This is one of two half-day sessions focusing on tool maintenance (cleaning, sharpening, oiling) to give them some TLC after the last few busy winter months. For anyone organisationally inclined, I also need to sort through and organise sections of the tool store (bags of old waterproofs, grouping boxes of screws/nails, etc) and tidy up some of the vegetation on site. Please contact Brittany directly to register attendance for this session.

Woodland Management: Dead hedge
With South Essex Action Team
At Davy Down
Activity description
Join us in the woodland to help build a dead hedge — a simple, traditional conservation feature that makes a big difference. By weaving fallen branches and natural materials into a living boundary, we’ll create vital shelter for birds, insects, and small mammals, while naturally defining and protecting the woodland floor. This hands-on activity is a rewarding way to support biodiversity, learn practical countryside skills, and enjoy time outdoors with others. No experience is needed — just sturdy footwear and a willingness to get involved. Contact the local project officer to express interest before the session.

Plant surveys and thistle clearance
With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team
At Sundon National Grid (Chalton)
Activity description
We have just started a new long term project at this brilliant little site, to improve biodiversity. As we're in the early stages, our first few months are concentrating on recording what's on site now, and keeping on top of the plant species that would otherwise take over - mainly thistles. So our sessions are a mix of scything, raking, and walking over the site to survey what's there. Something for everyone!

At Ley Hill Green Gym
Activity description
Grow your own food and make new friends at our lovely garden opposite Holloway Hall Community Centre. We meet at Ley Hill every Monday to do some gentle gardening work and sow, grow, and enjoy tasty fresh produce. There are numerous fruit shrubs here which leads to some tasty jams and deserts in the late summer. Our sites have raised beds which are accessible and manageable. We also have a number of benches within the garden where you can enjoy your brew and listen to bird song.
