    Join us on the first Sunday of the month to weed, sweep, prune, clip, dig, plot, plant, chat and enjoy the fruits of our labour! The gardening sessions usually last a couple of hours. We recommend wearing gardening clothes, sturdy shoes and bringing secateurs and gloves.

    Everyone is welcome. It's a great way to introduce little ones to gardening and if you don't have your own green space and would like the chance to make things grow, please come along.  

    If the weather is really bad, the session is usually cancelled, otherwise they run from February-December. We also run seasonal events at the Town Green. Please keep an eye on this calendar, or sign up to our newsletter.

    Holy Trinity in Bristol, United Kingdom

    Annual General Meeting 2026

    You are warmly invited to join us for our Annual General Meeting at Holy Trinity. As well as the latest updates on a range of community projects we will be holding a Community Conversation.

    Over the past few years you have told us what matters to you at meetings about Western Harbour, as part of our Community Climate Action Plan and more. We have grouped these priorities into themes and we now want to move the conversation on.

    How do we turn these ideas into action?

    We have a short survey (it should take about 10 minutes) if you want to give us your thoughts before the AGM, otherwise we very much look forward to catching up with you soon.
