As we reach the end of Volunteers' Week we'd like to say a HUGE thank you to our incredibly dedicated volunteer teams across all of our sites: Finchampstead Ridges, Simon's Wood and Runnymede.
We simply couldn't do what we do without you, so thank you from all of us🌟
Despite the freezing temperature, the pink buds of Cersis chinensis 'Avondale' in the Chinese Streamside Garden @RHSBridgewater are spectacular. Looking forward to seeing the flowers later this spring! #spring
Day 1 of my NPTC L2 Chainsaw Maintenance and Cross Cutting course @MyerscoughColl.
One chainsaw disassembled, cleaned, checked, bar filed and chain sharpened. All reassembled ready for tomorrow!
Spring is on the way, even in the North of England - and the buds of this Acer japonicum 'Aconitifolium' @RHSBridgewater are getting ready to burst into leaf!
We’ve started our biggest tree planting project yet: ow.ly/2G5q50I2j9R
With support from #GreenRecoveryChallengeFund and @HSBC_UK, we’re planting 90,000 trees across the Wimpole Estate in Cambridgeshire, helping our target to reach carbon net zero by 2030.
