Going with the Flow
We won the Gold!
We are very happy to announce that we have won a grant of £20,000 from Severn Trent Community Fund! This is incredible and we are very grateful to everyone who voted for us and helped spread the word.
The grant will fund our project Going with the Flow. Which will support work in the Gardens and the Parkland.
This amazing opportunity will also enable the sustainable management of the Gardens and 150 mature trees.
Rainwater Harvesting
We will build a rainwater harvesting system for our outhouses which will save over 30,000 litres of water each year and will also provide water for the plants in the 18th century Gardens.
Restoration
Restore an ancient Holloway and field boundary hedgerow for bats and birds, as well as restoring other natural habitats including the Wetland to support local wildlife.
Events
This will even help us to run future events, like foraging, wildlife detective activities, forest schools and more for over 80 children and families in the area.
