The beloved Bug Hotels have been relocated to the opposite site, and we are currently working on their redesign. Additionally, new compost bins have been built and are already in use. The wormery has been upgraded to a stronger foundation.

Our old shed at the nursing home grounds no longer became accessible to us as of December 2024. When we built it years ago, a great deal of effort went into its construction. It was spacious enough to store our tools and equipment, providing essential storage that we truly valued. Letting it go has been difficult for all of us.

After receiving council approval for the new site, our carpenter, Chris, constructed a new shed in February.

Happy Christmas and Best Wishes!

We are excited to remind you about one of our favourite events—Wassail, taking place on Saturday, January 4th, at 10:30 am in the Allesley Park Walled Garden.

Bring your loved ones to join in the festivities! This year, we are thrilled to welcome the Charterhouse Volunteers Choir for the first time, alongside our favourite Coventry Morris Dance Group.

Please dress warmly and bring pots and pans to participate in our traditional activities. A gentle reminder: the event can be quite noisy, so take care with young babies.

We look forward to seeing you there!

If you’re passionate about wildlife, we’d love for you to join our work party on Tuesday, November 5th, from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm. Come and be part of this exciting project as we work together to create a thriving Wildlife Area!

We were all proud of the Wigwam that we built for the Walled Garden and will now be greatly missed. In past years, we saw all the young kids and the parents enjoy it so much when they visited the garden. All the waves of laughter and smiles made all of our volunteers proud.

Sadly, the wigwam was completely trashed, pulled apart and scattered all over the area on 14th Jan. Around that time, there was an adult and several kids who looked 5-7ish up near the area that was present and we have had similar incidents of suspicious activities being reported in the past few days prior to the day we discovered the destruction of our wigwam.

Please look out for your children when they visit and make sure to bring your rubbish to the bin outside of the gate. We have also found there was rubbish in our wormery the other day.

The community garden needs your support and help to keep it tidy and enjoyable for all. Thank you for your cooperation.

We are pleased to announce that a new wigwam will be assembled this year.
