Our next gardening club session is happening on Saturday 19 May from 12pm-2pm. The last session was all about growing plants that bees and butterflies would love. But the one on Saturday will be for the birds.
Local gardening expert Helen Wilson will be teaching us all about growing climbing plants that birds love to nest in. And she'll be on hand to answer any other gardening questions you might have too.
The gardening club is completely free. And there'll be free drinks and snacks too - so come on down!

Daffodil day - Saturday 17 September
Autumn is in the air, which means now's the perfect time to fill up the meadow with spring bulbs. So on Saturday 17 September, we'll be holding an all-ages, drop-in bulb planting session from 12pm - 4pm as part of the Hackney Wick Festival.
As always, you can come whenever, and plant as many or as few bulbs as you like. But unlike other bulb-planting days, this year we'll have a bunch of these to help out (thanks Big Lottery Fund!). Which, I'm reliably informed, makes planting super easy and really satisfying.
As a reminder of how AMAZING the bulbs we planted last year looked when they flowered in spring. 2012 will be even better!
