Thank you to everyone who came to our last open evening - a takeover by our Nature Club to raise funds for an overnight nature trip.
The event was filled with joy, laughter, play and connection. We were blessed by a double rainbow and sang songs in the dark, long after the sun went down.
🌈🌈
The group worked like busy bees to make this happen and we are so proud of what was achieved with everyone pitching in, bringing their time, energy, care and Nature Club enthusiasm! It was truly a magical evening! ✨🍀🌚

We want to say a special THANK YOU to everyone who contributed and made this event possible, from attending making sessions, donating raffle prizes, making donations and support and delivery on the day.
🌿✨
If you missed the event you can still support the fundraiser and we will keep you posted on other ways to get your hands on some special

This weekend we went on our annual trip to with our community members 🌿✨💚 We got lucky with the weather and enjoyed visiting a mixture of the long-standing glasshouses as well as some newer areas and installations. We looked around the new Carbon Garden and the Of the Oak installations. You can see some of us playing with the interactive digital installation that represents one of the mighty Luscombe Oaks. Visiting the Waterlilly House was another highlight with its magnificent colours, climbing plants and an absolutely gorgeous variety of passionflower 😍😍😍 Might have also got a new book for the HH library.

If you are a community group you can register for the Community Access Scheme and get very cheap tickets (works out as 60p per ticket).

🌞 S U N T E A 🌞

With some warm, sunny days over the weekend and next week in London we are making one of our fave teas. Solar-infused teas are a lovely thing to make with fresh herbs during sunny warm spells. All you need to do is pop some of your favourite herbs into a jar, fill it with cold water and leave in a sunny, warm place to infuse all day. Then strain out the herbs and enjoy. You can use fresh herbs you’ve grown or bought from a shop or find some wild herbs growing in your area to experiment with.

🌿 This one is a mix of lemon balm, fennel, peppermint, chamomile, valerian, marigold and scented geranium. Infusing herbs this way doesn’t bring out as much bitterness as an infusion made with boiling water. It’s a lovely way to extract the softer, more subtle tastes of the plants. Have a go whilst the sun is shining today🌿🌞😋

🚿 Also if you are feeling hot and thirsty over the next few days then plants and wildlife will be feeling the same. Pop little trays of water out for wildlife and throw some water on any newly planted street trees in your area! 💦
