We are finally ready for some planting! Our small bare root plants (“whips”) are coming, and we are looking for families to come and help us plant up the first section of the hedge.

We will be planting a mix of species to restore the hedge and make it more wildlife-friendly.

We will also have some fun and creative activities, and hot drinks available.

Just pop along any time between 10:30 am and 12:30 pm to join in the fun.

Enter Long Meadow by our flag – the planting section is close to the Abbey Farm entrance.

Please come dressed for the weather and the rough grass and muddy ground.  Note, there is no car parking here.

This event is free, thanks to an award from the Postcode Places Trust, a grant-giving charity funded entirely by players of the People’s Postcode Lottery.

With hedge planting imminent – a family-based planting event will be held on Sunday 1st December - we have an urgent need to complete the preparation of the ground ready for planting. There will be two additional work parties at Long Meadow:

• Sunday 17th November, at 10.30 – this REPLACES a scheduled work party at Croft Close

• Saturday 23rd November, at 2pm.

These will both involve grubbing out of bramble and digging over the soil ready to plant into on December 1st.

We start by the fence at the village end of Long Meadow.

Come and see a display of the 13 winning photographs that make up the 2025 calendar. As last year we invited the community to pick the calendar cover picture by a public vote on the local Facebook groups. Our thanks to all the photographers who entered the competition and to those who took part in the vote – we think that the resulting calendar is a splendid showcase of our “Connecting with Nature” theme.

This is your opportunity to purchase the calendar - costing £10.

We need your help as we start work on our ambitious plans for restoring the Park Lane hedge to produce a dense thick hedge offering better habitat for hedgerow species. (Details of our restoration plans and the grant funding supporting this initiative here.)

This autumn we will also be doing preparatory work for the planting of three new trees in the avenue – the next phase in our plans for the avenue.

We are running three sessions over the weekend 12th/13th October to prepare target hedge sections for future replanting*. The preparation includes cutting down and removal of non-hedge plants, such as bramble and ivy, and putting up temporary fencing. Come prepared for some quite demanding physical activity!

We start by the fence at the village end of Long Meadow.

* The replanting will be done later in the season when bare-root whips are available. We hope that families will be able to help us with this and will be advertising the date/time as soon as we can.

HICOP have the macerators and presses needed to turn your apples and pears into delicious juice! See the poster here.

You can bring windfalls or fruit picked from the tree. You will need to bring thoroughly rinsed bottles to take your juice home - 2-pint plastic milk bottles are ideal. If you have a knife and chopping board, then please bring these too.

Children are very welcome, but must be supervised.
