January Opening Times

caldmorecommunitygarden Leave a comment

This is not the message we wanted to greet the New Year with, but we all have to do whatever we can to stay safe, protect the NHS and save lives.

As we are now in Tier 4, all our regular groups and activities at the Garden – both indoors and outdoors – will be suspended until further notice.

The Garden will be open to the public in January on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11am until 2pm.

We hope local families and individuals will continue to enjoy the outdoors in the winter, explore the Garden and use out new playground. Please remember to sign in using NHS Track and Trace app, use hand sanitiser on entering and leaving the Garden, take all rubbish with you or place it in one of the bins and leave the Garden as you found it:)

Stay safe!

Get to Know Garden Birds – Online session with Sally Cunningham

The first in a series of monthly gardening sessions on Zoom.

Garden birds. We all know a pigeon, a robin and maybe a blackbird… but could you recognise a chaffinch? Learn how to recognise our 10 commonest garden birds (and try to encourage them to visit your garden rather than next door).
