Giving Bees a Break

Hurray! We have been awarded a modest sum of money from the Cooperative Community Challenge Fund to do a Grey Matters project supporting pollinators. This will allow us to work with 10 local schools to help them develop pollinator friendly spaces. We get to use the money to buy plants and seeds and give them to the schools and to develop a demonstrator plot here at the Hub.

We are already underway planning our demonstrator garden which will have a swanky insect hotel as a major feature. Children and teachers will come to the Hub to collect plants, seeds and some ideas on how to plan their own garden. Our Grey Matters Gardening group know a thing or two about gardening and wildlife. We want participating schools to watch their new spaces and tell us what insects and animals they attract.  For more information on how to get involved see our Hub website or give us a ring on 01782 733555.
