A couple of months ago we asked what you would like to see on offer at Holderness House - top of the list by far was Christmas Wreath Workshops. You asked, we'll deliver!

If you'd like to join us in the beautiful setting of Holderness House, using foliage from around the grounds to create your very own wreath then be sure to book your space.

We have honey! 🐝🍯

The team were delighted to be presented with the very first Holderness House honey today - the verdict is that it’s absolutely delicious!

Our bee keeper Jamie introduced the apiary early this year and no-one was expecting to see a harvest so soon. It must be something about our gorgeous grounds and the neighbouring Garden Village gardens that gave the bees a happy buzz.

We’re looking forward to branded labels on these jars and to selling our own honey to visitors in the future.

Our community art piece for An Alphabet of Hull is now proudly displayed just inside our Holderness Road boundary with a QR code so visitors can read the story of our piece online.

We’re so grateful to everyone who has taken the time during their visits this last few months to make a Dolly Peg which has been added to this piece.

Full details of the trail can be found at www.analphabetofhull.co.uk

If you do visit and take a photo, do tag us in - we’d love to see it!

Our Thursday morning Craft for a Cause group has led on this project and new members are always very welcome.

Things are getting busy in our Kitchen Garden thanks to our recent Aviva Community Fund crowd funder and our incredible volunteers.

The Kitchen Garden is two thirds cleared, rotivated and paths seeded with a team of corporate volunteers keen to support the rest of the clearance works.

Our greenhouse is now crammed full of plug plants that have now been potted on meaning we can grow almost all of the plants needed for our grounds and our planned workshops with minimal cost and environmental impact.

If you’d like to learn more about volunteering with us, please get in touch.

Don’t forget, we’ll happily repurpose your old plant pots for you. Just drop them in the marked bin by the Laburnum Avenue gates and our gardening volunteers will put them to use

Do you have a spot of gardening planned for the weekend?

Whether its time for winter bedding or a clear out of the shed or greenhouse, we'll gladly put your old plant pots and trays to good use in our greenhouse and kitchen garden.

Donations can be left in the labeled bin at our Laburnum Avenue entrance between 9 and 3 week days.

Thank you!
