Summary
Looking after saplings and planting seeds in the Clock Tower park.Detailed description
Join us to look after our young trees by clearing brambles from around them. We will also be planting yellow rattle seeds. These help to suppress the grass and encourage more wildflowers to grow.
We are a mixed group of all ages, and we welcome all help you can give even if you can only spare half an hour.
If you would like to help, please bring gardening gloves and pruning tools if you have them. Long sleeves and trousers will help to protect you from the brambles.
We meet in the orchard by the tennis courts.
About Green Abbey
Green Abbey: green spaces in Abbeydale and Abbeymead and the surrounding area. We are a network of people living in Abbeymead, Abbeydale, Barnwood and Coney Hill, who are interested in growing in appreciation for the fabulous green spaces that are dotted through our residential area. Events are one of two things: sometimes a work party such as the pruning of the Clocktower Park apple trees, and sometimes a community event, such as the annual Big Butterfly Count. We have strong links with Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust and with the council green spaces team and are connected with the urban wildlife project, also with the friends of Barnwood Arboretum and Saintbridge Pond. We hope to grow in neighbourliness as we meet both the people and the creatures that share our home.
