Also seen weeding on Brentwood Road in June 2024

Thank you to the Growing Hollingdean Tree Guardian volunteers who have been up at the Hollingdean Community Orchard, clearing grass and spreading the wood chip around the base of the trees. This is all free exercise anyone can take part in, from shovelling woodchip and wheeling the barrow, to sitting and pulling up grass around the tree roots. We love to see new faces, even if it is just to chat about the weather.

Tree Guardians meet on Sunday 7th July 2024 at 10am on Lynchet Close

Join our volunteers on the first Sunday of the month, in all weathers at 10am to 12 midday. Please wear suitable clothing, sensible shoes, a drink and we will will be supply gloves and equipment. We look forward to meeting you.

Why gardening (and all out door activities) is good for your body… and its FREE here

Thrive says Gardening is good for “Building muscle strength and flexibility, some gardening activities help keep your body flexible and build muscle strength. You can work out every major muscle group as you stretch, bend, lift, pull and push. This is particularly felt in your arms, legs, abdominals and back.” Plus it is fun!

Please go up and enjoy Hollingdean Community Orchard its behind Hollingdean Park. It is a beautiful quiet space for anyone to enjoy, and there is a bench and table for picnics.

If you would like to know more about our events or help out as a volunteer please email through our contact page here. We look forward to meeting you!
