You know you're doing a good job when the local residents stop by to give their approval (and some ice lollies, thank you!) Our BITMO planters are looking fab for sure.

Our volunteers also had a great time last week constructing a dipping platform for a primary school. It's a perfect shaded spot for the kids to meet some creepy crawlies and learn about pond life.

The Practical Team is currently looking for new volunteers, so if you're in the area and want to take some time out in nature with us then please get in touch!

It’s your weekly reminder that TCV Hollybush have been shortlisted for Everyday History Heroes 2026 and would appreciate your vote!

Everyday History Heroes is a national celebration of the organisations, places and people keeping local history alive from Findmypast and Heritage Open Days

The prize is £1000, which would mean Hollybush could improve accessibility in the woodland garden and install a permanent family-friendly nature trail celebrating the relationship between trees and plants and our local history.
