FREE blackberries! O.k. it’s not that big a deal since they’re currently all over the countryside. However, Sid’s are pure blackberry, no roadside pollutants, and not previously sprayed with agricultural chemicals. Just the very occasional drop of rain. Why not join our work party at Sid’s Piece tomorrow from 10am and pick some berries as a reward 😊

What a beautiful day for taking a walk around the now much larger ‘Sid’s Piece’. We’re seeking the views of local residents as to what they would like to see happen here in the next few years. Maybe an area for community and group events with a wildlife connection, possibly a covered shelter area, more seating and informative signage. There will be a questionnaire in the next Steamer. Sid’s is run entirely by volunteers who hold just one (but very successful) fundraising event each year. But we do hold practical work parties almost monthly, the last Sunday of each month. Do come along next Sunday 10am to find out more.

Thank-you to those who walk along our paths at the new larger Sid’s Piece. Along with our brilliant mowing team, it helps keep the grass from over-growing, and the paths worn. Keep on walking 🚶

A big thank-you to those who joined our work session yesterday. Mowing and trimming was a big success, but of course through summer, this will be needed more than once a month. So we’re thinking of having a small band of helpers who can help with this work on a rotation basis. Ideally we would like two volunteers per week for 1-2 hours. If we have ten volunteers then that would mean helping once every five weeks. We have the equipment! Please feel free to comment or ask any questions.

Records broken! A big big thank-you to all the numerous people, visitors, volunteers, crafters, plants-people, musicians and hosts, who contributed to our hugely successful event last Sunday. Over 900 visitors, over £3000 raised for Stanton Wildlife 😀

What a beautiful start to the day of Wyken Plants & Crafts 🌞 The gardens are looking stunning, and we hope to see you later.

We’re excited to share that we’re looking like a record number of stalls at our Wyken Fair this Sunday! Plus, Woosters great coffee and cookies, and freshly cooked flatbreads with toppings from Moonshine Cafe. Not forgetting the Leaping Hare too of course. From 10am, we hope to see you 💐😊
