The Blossom Branch is now OPEN!
A new shop on the Ladypool Road, dedicated to blossom and nature, opened on Wednesday 24th April.
Come and meet our new branch team, Natasha and Ashliegh who are looking forward to creating a warm and inviting space for all.
This will be a place for families and communities to come together, share knowledge and take part in nature themed activities as well as help shape the project’s tree planting ambitions. The Branch will be open until December 2024.
Workshop this Saturday!
Join us for our first workshop this Saturday, 27th April, hosted by Philip Duckworth and Ben Sadler of Juneau Projects to create your own blossom brooch! You’ll be working with laser cut wooden shapes to create your design, and then hand-paint it to create your own blooming marvellous piece of wearable art. All materials will be provided. No previous experience required and suitable for any age.
