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 e.g. willow weaving, ivy baskets, flower balms, sleep mist, hapa zome, hair conditioners, nettle cordage, cooking on the fire. Described by some of attendees as their calm in the storm of both menopause and life!

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!
