Station Road Community Garden
Have you been down to the new Station Road Community Garden yet? It's still looking good ... and tasty🎋🍅🌶️.

A full list of the current planting can be found here. Some of the tasty things planted are: red and yellow cherry tomatoes, chillies, salad leaves, raspberries, spring onions, chard and lots of lovely herbs.

It been good to see people enjoying the benefits.

Autumn Community Litter Pick
Autumn Community Litter Pick: All welcome to join our bi annual Chinnor clean up walking some of the most popular footpaths in Chinnor. Litter picking equipment provided, just bring some gardening gloves. We meet at White’s Field car park at 10:00 am and finish by 12:30 pm latest.

Donkey Lane Orchard
Greening Chinnor are delighted to announce that we are working with Mr Derek Nixey, our Parish Council and Chiltern Conservation Board to regenerate and restore the old, overgrown orchard in Donkey Lane. Our aim is to restore the orchard to be a viable and shared community area. Not only are we looking at restoration but also about finding out and recording the habitat, wildlife and social history of the site. To enable this exiting project to get off the ground, we are looking for volunteers to help process the project. We are holding an open general meeting on Wednesday 21 November in the Parish Chambers, Chinnor Community Pavilion at 7:30 pm. To find out more come along and see what we’re planning. Light refreshments will be served.

Repair Cafe

Our next Repair Café will be held on 24 November 10 am – 1pm at the Village Hall (last item accepted before 12pm). At the Repair Cafe, we try to fix broken household items in a collaborative and social way. The idea is to help you learn how to repair items and that you gain knowledge from the fixers. Items we are able to fix will depend entirely on the expertise of our volunteers on the day. This is a brilliant way to prevent waste and save you money and to enjoy our tea and cakes in this most sociable activity.

So, bring along your small portable broken electrical items, household items and clothes and we will try to help you repair them. More details and a full list of what we can and can’t accept will be updated and published on our website alternatively you can book your item in with our online form.
