If you’re interested in community gardening and how you and your church can care for your local green or wild places, why not join the Gloucestershire Churches Environmental Justice Network (GCEJN) for its next meeting.
They will be visiting the Chestergate Allotments at Bisley under the guidance of keen gardener and writer Sue Bradley and the allotment warden Lesley Greene.
Topics will include
- how to go about planting trees

- managing allotments eg. Charity Trustees, Parish Council taking the rent
- caring for a community orchard eg. apples, plums, pears…
- establishing wildlife-friendly hedges with blackberries etc
- encouraging wildflower meadows
