Another interesting and satisfying session!
Thank you to the 7 volunteer repairers of the day.
Come and see us at our next repair cafe. Bring along your broken item(s) and our volunteer team will do their best to repair it/them, while you enjoy a cup of tea, coffee, slice of cake, biscuit, and a sociable chat with friends!
We have repaired or renovated all sorts of items over the years: Furniture, tools, Christmas decorations, clothes, bikes, toys etc! So bring anything along and we'll see what we can do.
More successful tree planting in Uley
In February 2024 we planted two more copses of mixed species tree saplings, supplied by Gloucester County Council as part of their ''Plant a million tress in Gloucestershire by 2030'' project. Fifty saplings were planted on Mill Farm and another 50 at Blacknest in Owlpen Manor. The species were Beech, Sweet Chestnut, Silver Birch, and Black Alder.
