The plant sale will take place this Saturday, 16^th May from 9:30am – 11:30am just beyond the Hollies car park off Weetwood Lane.

Plant Sale Time!

Posted on May 6, 2015 by Friends of The Hollies

Don’t forget about the annual Plant Sale which will take place on Saturday 16 May, at 9.30 am near the car park in The Hollies. There’ll be a great selection of plants available, including many from cuttings taken during the regular working parties!

It has proved very popular in past years, and is a great way to raise funds that are then spent on bulbs and plants for the area.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks to all who turned up on Saturday 10th January 2015.

Unfortunately, due to the severe weather, it was thought to be too dangerous to go ahead with the planned working session. Those who were there agreed to come next Saturday instead so we’re letting everyone else know as well.

Meet at 10am in the Hollies car park on Saturday 17th January.

Future diary dates are as follows:
Saturday 14th February
