SUMMARY:More Fruit Tree Care and Potato planting in the new Community Orchard
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 30 April 2026: More Fruit Tree Care and Potato planting in the new Community Orchard: \nAfter ten people came to the new orchard to install tree guards on the 16th (see: https://ssb.org.uk/event/protecting-the-fruit-trees/) on an unexpectedly warm afternoon\, (many thanks for all your hard work!)\, we now have only around 40 trees left to do. \nSo we have another call out for volunteers to mulch the trees with the Marsh compost. There is already grass growing through the initial mulching\, so we need to pile on some more. \n  \nThere will also be an opportunity to plant the last of the donated seed potatoes – not many left after 150 were planted last week. \nThere is also some weeding to be done! Come and join us \n– The entrance is muddy so wear boots. \nAccess to the Market Garden field site – on foot or by bike\, but absolutely no cars – is along Palstone Lane then left down Portford Lane to a signposted entrance on the left – What3Words: extend.showed.spreading. If you are interested in helping on this day or for further information\, please email marketgarden@ssb.org.uk; \nFor more information on the Community Market Garden and Orchard project\, email marketgarden@ssb.org.uk and visit https://ssb.org.uk/projects/market-garden-orchard/

SUMMARY:Balsam Bashing at Hope Wood
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 4 June 2026: Balsam Bashing at Hope Wood; 10.30am – 2.30pm. \nIt’s that time of year again with the Himalayan balsam beginning to show its face in several places. Can you help ParkLife SW clear Himalayan Balsam from the banks of the Horse Brook? If this aggressive non-native invasive plant is allowed to set seed\, it spreads like wildfire along streams crowding out the native plants and wildflowers that we’re trying to encourage. \nPlease join us: Tools provided\, wear appropriate clothes\, shoes & gardening gloves. \nFollow ParkLife signs from the Palstone Park Rec.  \nOrganised by Park Life in conjunction with Sustainable South Brent and South Hams District Council

SUMMARY:Seed Swap extra! - Free Seed Saving Talk
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 1 July 20206: Seed Swap extra! – Seed Saving – Free talk: in the Methodist Church School Room at 7pm \nOur speaker is Robyn Minogue\, who is a grower at School Farm\, Dartington\, the celebrated local organic market garden. Robyn is part of the Gaia Foundation’s Seed Sovereignty Programme and has specialist experience of seed growing\, working freelance across the agroecological sector to promote regenerative food systems. \nSouth Brent Seed Swap has been put to bed for another year\, but we’re now looking forward to future events (our fifth Seed Swap will be in February 2027) and thinking how we can get even more people involved in growing and saving their own seeds\, both for their own use and swap with others. Successful seed saving is a satisfying and important step towards a more resilient food economy – and can save money too! \nDo take the opportunity to join us\, to learn tips and tricks and find out all you need to know about successful seed saving. Organised by the Seed Saving Collective; \n  \n  \nFFI contact Carol – halfmoonfield@planetmail.com or call 0790 066 6094.

SUMMARY:South Brent Screening of "The People's Emergency Briefing"
DESCRIPTION:Sunday 5 July 2026: The People’s Emergency Briefing’ \nin the Village Hall from 5-7pm. \nScreening of an eye-opening\, ground-breaking\, must-see\, film featuring Chris Packham and ten leading UK scientists and experts\, presenting clear\, evidence-based insights on the growing risks to our weather\, food\, health and cost of living. It reveals the stark reality of the threats posed to humanity by the climate and biodiversity crises – and the ways we can all respond to them. \nThe 50-minute film will be followed by an optional\, facilitated\, open discussion – a chance to voice how we think and feel about it all. The first step in an urgent\, large-scale campaign to build an irresistible call for a national televised briefing\, so every household hears the same evidence. \nBackground: Last November in Westminster\, ten of the UK’s leading experts briefed an invited audience of over 1\,200 politicians and leaders from business\, culture\, faith\, sport and the media. The event was covered by ITV\, C4\, and the Times. It set out the implications of changing climate and nature breakdown for health\, food systems\, national security and the economy. \n  \nOur MP Caroline Voaden and South Hams District Council both fully support this campaign. \nYou can watch a 1 min YouTube trailer at https://youtu.be/9tLUnWHkGG4. \n \n“This film isn’t designed to sow fear. It’s about hope. It’s about knowledge as power. The opportunity for grown-up conversations. So our political leaders can no longer pretend it’s business as usual\, bow to industry lobbyists and kick the can on decisions that affect our very survival through this decade and beyond.” – Sarah Daly. \nFor age 16 or over only. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nFFI email neb@itsorted.org.uk\, and to book a free seat go to www.itsorted.org.uk/neb/ or scan the qr code \n  \n  \n(NB. This is not an SSB event)
