Trees for Congleton
Planting Season Winter 23/24
For September and October we are going back to last season’s sites and doing maintenance including weeding, mulching and trimming. Please join us if you can!
Then we will start planting new hedges, trees and orchards in November and throughout the winter.
If you can help, please bring wear gloves, wellies or boots, and appropriate clothing for the weather. Bring spade, trowel, hand fork, secateurs if you have them – but it is also OK if you don’t have any tools, they can be provided!
We also have a WhatsApp group that we use for updates, especially at the last-minute due to weather or other factors influencing plans – if you want to join the WhatsApp group, please send a mobile number to the email address above.
