Scything with the 4Bs – Health Centre

Scything with the 4Bs (Brent Bees, Bugs and Butterflies)

When: Tuesday 19th August 6.15pm

Where: ‘Apple a Day’ Orchard behind South Brent Health Centre.

You are invited to come and have a go at scything as we mow the increasingly diverse wildflower area along Exeter Road, near the roundabout and playpark. There will be an opportunity to learn from experienced scythers. We’ll also be raking the cuttings ready for collection, so please bring a rake and gloves if you can. Or just come for a chat! All welcome but no dogs please, and children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Please bring whatever you need to be comfortable e.g. drinks and snacks. Sturdy footwear recommended (not sandals). We’ll be returning to collect the grass the following day, Sunday the 10th from 11-1pm – please bring a hay fork if you can. See you there!

In the event of strong winds or torrential rain we will postpone.
