: We had sun and rain and a lovely spring breeze for our Soil Masterclass, and shared expertise and careful opinion on worms, carbon, organic matter and the black gold under our feet, with members of POGG, HOGG and those keen to learn. Soil is the business - have a look at our Splendiferous Soil page here...it's proper extraordinary.

     October kicked off with a fab invitation a talk to
      the Conor Downs WI - a roomful of remarkable women! Great evening
      talking about pollinators, living low impact, energy and homes, soil, food
      and what so many women know how to do already...manage on very
      few resources. Quality of life is not always dependent on standard of
      living! BIG THANK YOU for the donation to the Rocket Kitchen...hurray! It will 
      help buy a picnic bench and table for the kitchen!

   : Cob Oven Building Day!
   As part of the Rocket Kitchen programme, we got a Fabulous A Team together to build the cob oven, ready for use in the spring to get local school children getting wild and mucky and making bread and pizza outside: what's not to like! Thanks to Unltd for the wee grant for the cob building expertise from Andrew Ormerod! For more pics and to see the whole process, just click here: Rocket Kitchen!

   : Wild Thursdays!
    Every Thursday from this autumn we've been opening the site to local community members
      who  want to come and spend some time outside, doing something creative and making
       connections with other people, with some fresh air and with our natural environment.  
       We've been cunningly creative with all sort of craft activities and have been focusing on 
       developing the Garden of Senses ...

    : Dose of Nature!
    This summer we've been running a  programme with our local surgery and the 
       splendid Nature Workshops, to provide a space outside away from daily worries and
        anxieties. It's been fantastic - and we've had a whole heap of fun. In fact the brilliant
        Dose of Nature guys are now coming back and helping us develop the ideas for the
       Garden of Senses - what goes around, comes around!
       Have a little look here:

     Bat Box Building Masterclass!
       There are a million ways to make a fabulous bat box...and pretty much every one was built that day.
        Building good bat boxes provides a crucial home for the critturs, who are losing their habitat faster
        than you can say biodiversity crisis. . There was much banging and sawing and obviously, a great
        deal of  important cake eating to fend off the cold. Click below for more info:

 Blooming Bee Friendly Masterclass!
The fantastic Brigit Strawbridge spent the day here talking and positively fizzing about bees, inspiring all the Hayle in Bloomers to get busy on pollinator wisdom. She knows more about bumblebees, solitary bees, honey bees and that they live on, and off, than ANYONE we know! Have a look here for what happened!

: Hayle in Bloom Community Day
A fabulous day, with gorgeous hot sunshine bouncing off the waters off the estuary, and local companies and community groups all showing what Hayle can do when it gets together. A brilliant day - and we spoke to dozens and dozens of bee-friendly folks, from Hayle to the northwest of England - all doing our bit for the bees, and selling the beautiful flowers and seedlings from our gardens. Just the job.
