The community of growers at Tabard Gardens Allotments needs our help! They are transforming a neglected patch on their estate to improve biodiversity and make it look more attractive. The charity BugLife Tabard Gardens Allotments create a bug-friendly garden, which will support the B-Lines pollinator network. Volunteers laid the foundations of the garden in late 2024, and the next stage is to create the beds ready for Spring planting.

In this session, we will be helping to move sand and pebbles to create the new bug-friendly garden.

This is a drop-in session so don't worry if you can't make the whole session, just come for the time that you can.
