Invertebrates may mostly disappear from view during winter but they are still in our gardens hiding from the cold in dead wood, leaf litter, dark nooks & crannies or deep in the soil. Help wildlife thrive by avoiding unnecessary digging, clearing & leaf blowing during winter months.

We hope you're able to take time to rest, eat delicious food and spend time with loved ones this December. As we head into 2025 we'll be reflecting on the amazing work our green community hubs have done this year making local people happier, healthier and more connected. ❄️

Today our volunteers helped to prune our summer fruiting raspberries.
This is when you prune out the old woody stems, leaving 6-8 of the new young stems that had grown that season.
