This January, the Frome Wild Bunch gathering is focusing on what we can all do on our streets to encourage wildlife and how we might get our neighbours involved so that our garden habitats can link together. We’ll hear from two streets who have been getting wild with their neighbours, and share ideas and tips to get started. Each gathering will begin with a short intro topic and this month, Wild Bunch member Simon will be sharing what he’s learnt about the divisive ‘weed’ Ragwort.
Due to Covid, this gathering will be held online only.
The Wild Bunch is open to anyone who is interested in gardening for wildlife in our private gardens and shared local green spaces. Championing the idea of our gardens and green spaces being inter-connected parts of a much larger wild space that is owned by our wild neighbours, the group shares ideas, hosts monthly gatherings and holds public events that promote wildlife-friendly approaches in our neighbourhoods.
Find out more about the Wild Bunch.
Wild Bunch gatherings take place on the third Thursday of every month.
