Our #plasticbottlegreenhouse is really starting to take shape. It was a busy day on our #schoolallotment. After many months of lock down, the plot looked like a jungle. Big thanks to all those who came along to help.

First visit to the Shared School Woodland site since lockdown and what a beautiful morning. It was looking gorgeous. Can’t wait to get planting with all the children from all the schools involved. Roll on March 2021 WoodlandTrust

Big thanks to James Webb and Ed Bonn for meeting me today at #KnappFarm to share their pearls of wisdom about grants, #RuralSkills workshops and Himalayan Balsam, which they swiftly removed! Excited to see how this partnership develops #CotswolsNationalLandscape @CotswoldsAONB

Last week's tree planting finally happened after two years of delays. Big thanks to the WoodlandTrust for kindly donating the trees and giving all the children involved the opportunity to get outside and get planting! fromtheground.co.uk/blog-posts-02/…

Just out of a meeting with the horticultural and employability departments Thomas Keble School to discuss a new #biodiversity and #community collaboration with From The Ground and @KnappFarmUK. Check out the year 10’s #recycled #bottle #art @SEEducating LEAF Education

Massively worrying. I can’t understand why the government doesn’t get off its backside and do something about it. ‘If nature can’t survive then neither can we’: Global wildlife populations plunge 70% since 1970 - The Independent apple.news/AXKpsy5TZRiyMB…

Meeting Thomas Keble School with the #CoPE coordinator to discuss this Monday’s yellow rattle seeding with the year 10 #employability students @KnappFarmUK. The activity will contribute to a period of community work and help students attain 1 credit @CotswoldsAONB ASDAN

We are passionate about environmental education. Today we welcomed students from Thomas Keble School who helped sow yellow rattle @KnappFarmUK as part of a meadow restoration project. The activity forms part of their Employability studies #Stroud #GloriousCotswoldGrasslands

Today we helped facilitate a bracken stomp @KnappFarmUK with students from Thomas Keble School school. If done regularly, the bracken will eventually weaken, allowing the calcareous grassland, orchids and other rare plant species to flourish. In conjunction with @Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust #Stroud

Hugely constructive day at #Oakridge #School #Allotment digging over the raised beds and planting new trees with friends in readiness for a new growing season with the children #Stroud #Education

Super nice to celebrate #EarthDay2023 with the children Oakridge Parochial School. We helped create the allotment space for them back in 2019 and it has provided endless #outdoorlearning opportunities for them since #stroud #oakridge

Lovely morning in the orchard with the year 10 horticulture students from Julia Maunder helping to cut the grass back and lay weed suppressant. @KnappFarmUK provides a brilliant place for young people to visit and learn about the natural world #Stroud
