At the farm

11am onwards (usually)

There is lots to do in the polytunnel to get it ready for planting out for the coming season - making new raised beds and filling them, sorting out the rainwater harvesting system, so if you are good at that sort of thing, why not come and join us! And of course plenty to do outside, with the raised beds and composting.

Something for everyone!
All welcome!

Repair Cafe is one of the 'good causes' at Poundbury Waitrose in January. Please drop your green tokens in the Repair Cafe box!

Wassailing

Come and help us to scare away evil spirits from our apple trees to ensure a good harvest of apples this year. Bring something to make a (terrifying) noise with, some cider, apple juice or an apple cake to share. Or just turn up!

2pm at Poundbury Orchard (next to the allotments) on Saturday 18 January

We will be planting trees in January and February!
We have a lot of trees coming, so check our facebook page to see when we will be planting them.

Remember, we need to plant 1.5 billion trees in the UK to help tackle climate change!

Sustainable Dorset AGM
Saturday 1 February 2-4
Dorset Room, Colliton Club, Dorchester DT1 1XZ

The speaker is Nikki Jones, independent researcher and writer on energy, who will give a talk on ‘The Climate Emergency- UK Energy Policy and individual actions’.

Topics will include: we have a climate crisis, but what are the time scales? Is this a problem for our children or for us? Is the UK a leader in the energy transition, and whether we – as individuals - have a role in this?
