The Triangle Garden is a community garden within a local park where people of all ages and abilities can come together and take part in creative land-based activities, such as growing food and flowers, tending plants, creating wildlife habitats, making permanent garden features and learning about biodiversity. We run community gardening and forest school activities open to all, once a month on wee

kends, and community events, workshops, walks and talks throughout the year. Book via www.trianglegarden.org/events Our Friday Garden Club actively nurtures the Triangle Garden and we welcome new volunteers. Our green care projects Growing Ability and New Shoots provide social therapeutic horticulture activities, and healthy living support for our 'gardeners' with learning disabilities and/or mental health needs during the week. This includes food growing, horticulture training, arts and crafts, nature conservation, work experience and peer support, leading to increased wellbeing, confidence and independence. Please email us about a referral via [email protected]

We welcome help from volunteers at any of our activities. Please contact us if you're interested. https://linktr.ee/trianglegardenhitchin

If you’ve been affected by this summer’s extreme weather and are worried about the rising cost of living, you’ll want to come along to a community screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing film.

The next one locally is on Friday 25th September at Our Lady’s Church Hall, SG5 1QS. (Plenty of parking around Sainsbury’s)

The 50 minute film sets out where we are as a country in terms of the risks we face from the climate emergency but also the clear solutions in front of us that need to be adopted. What we’re lacking is widespread public understanding of these issues and the political courage to act. If more people knew the extent and urgency of our predicament, politicians and business leaders would have more backing to change things for the better.

Don’t take our word for it - come along and see for yourself with others in our community. The film will be followed by a 45 minute open discussion where people can express their reactions to the film, ask questions and find out what’s happening locally to change things.

Very exciting find this week at Ransoms Meadows - Steve found quite a large colony of Wasp Spiders which have not been seen here before. They like to inhabit areas of long and short grass so they can string their webs across a well in the long grass between the stems.

Where the Countryside & Rights of Way Service have sown a mixture of non-aggressive grasses, and where we’ve planted whips, this has allowed the spiders to create small ‘holes’ in the long grass, to make their homes. They mostly eat grasshoppers and the like, and have gradually invaded from Europe as global temperatures increase. They need at least three months of warm weather and a mild winter to survive - exactly the sort of weather that global heating is now providing. They are effectively climate migrants.

Of course they probably are coming over here and taking our native spiders’ dinners, but as we seem to have a surfeit of grasshoppers too I guess there’s probably enough for everyone. And at least they’ve escaped the wild fires that have decimated their European habitat.

So we welcome and celebrate them! We’ve asked North Herts Council and John O'Conner to hold off mowing the meadow until late September when the spiderlings will have fledged.

If you do go and have a look for them please keep to the mown paths as the spiders have made nests all across the meadow even beyond our plantings.

Thanks .photos99 for the amazing photos.
