Join us on Sunday for Tree Guardians, 10am-12noon the first Sunday of every month. We meet at Growing Hollingdean shed on the corner of Brentwood Road and Lynchet Close. See our Tree Guardian website page for more information, click here.
17 Tree Guardians volunteers turned up on 6th April 2025
It was a beautiful sunny morning with a cool breeze on 6th April 2025. Jo-seph led volunteers down to Merevale to finish caging and stacking trees 184 to 191. Some of us carried out light weeding, adding grass clippings around the base of the trees. Mulching in this way helps to conserve the water at the base of the trees and to feed them. It all adds up to happier, healthier trees and better crops!
Polly lead some of us down Stephen’s Road weeding around tree numbers 203-7 and 212 to 216. All the weeding is by hand, including nettles (we wear gloves!) and then left to dry in the sunshine and return the nutrients into the ground.
We recommend a walk round Hollingdean to enjoy the blossom. It is particularly good this year.

Thank you to the volunteers who helped make it all happen.
