Free #art #making #clay event - using clay to express grief - make a piece to return to the earth - this Saturday at 3pm on the Community Plot at Whetstone Stray Allotments, Holden Road, N12 7DX #Barnet

Dandelion flower honey - a great substitute for vegans or anyone who is immuno-suppressed and so can't eat honey. You need fifty flower heads - widely available now so you won't be taking too many from the pollinators

All the community garden drop in and training opportunities from @Barnet Council for the coming year.

There are some plants that I remove before they get too big and tough or numerous. At #Knepp #rewilded project, this impulse to intervene was referred to as 'the call to care' - a call which we humans must try to manage sustainably. Here are the Alkenet leaves on the compost. I drown the roots.

At this time of year a lot of people talk about 'clearing' and 'tidying up' but we like to let things mellow and allow for forage and shelter ...

We also learned how many 20th #Finchley #Cubs can circle this wonderful ancient hollow oak = six + one inside the hollow! This tree is on the Allotment path - Totteridge & Whetstone end - it is over 300-years-olf and is one of four old oaks that would have been boundary trees.

We enjoyed the lively company of the 20th #Finchley #Cubs today on our Nature Walk & Litter Pick - happy to see very little litter on public paths through #Whetstone #Stray Allotments & on the #Dollis #Valley #Greenwalk Lots of great questions and spots including a tiny woodmouse and a kestrel.

Fantastic #free #festive event at Friern #Barnet Library on Sunday 1st December with Finchley's Eco Show and Tell - includes craft workshops - make your own Christmas gifts!
