Many of you were involved in the willow den building session last February in Millhouses Park, braving the snow and sleet! Hopefully this time the weather will be kinder, but we will be there rain or shine if you fancy a morning pruning and reweaving the structure so that it will be good for another year. There will be tree planting after lunch too.
Look forward to seeing you on 16th Feb, see flyer for details HERE.
