Please join us to make Harston’s green spaces tidier, more beautiful and wildlife-friendly. We plant bulbs and hedges, create wildflower areas, and tidy overgrowth. We often meet on Saturdays, or sometimes mid-week, depending on availability and what gardening needs there are.
Please contact us via harstonresidents@gmail.com for more information or to be added to the mailing list so you can find out when the next meeting is
