🌺 Secret Gardens of St Ives 🌿 👉

A wonderful annual event where private gardens in St Ives are opened to the public for everyone to enjoy! Please share and support this wonderful event.

📅 Saturday & Sunday 20th & 21st June
⏰ 1pm – 5pm
💷 £7.50 (cash only)

Tickets are available from St Ives Library and Colensos, where you'll also receive a map to guide you around the gardens.

A huge thank you to the St Ives Community Fund for once again choosing us as a recipient of part of the proceeds. Last year we received an incredible £1,000, which helped support our work rescuing food from going to landfill and running our weekly Kevranna social club.

We’re incredibly grateful for their continued support.

🌿 Spaces still available for tomorrow's Nature Walk with Noah Hall! 🌿

Saturday 6th June, 10am–12pm
📍 Meet at The Core

Join knowledgeable and engaging naturalist Noah Hall for a gentle guided walk through our Orchard and Nature Reserve. We'll explore wildflowers, trees, grasses, birds, butterflies, bees and more, stopping along the way to observe and discuss the wildlife around us.

This is the first in a series of Nature Walks planned for this year and is free to attend, but booking is essential as places are limited.

Book your free place here:
https://www.tickettailor.com/events/stivesorchardcic/2217837

Suitable for all ages. The walk follows footpaths with some gentle inclines and a few uneven areas with rocks and roots, so sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended.

Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

We'd love to see you there! 🌱
