Lets get together and get rid of this invasive plant from our local greenspaces 🌱🌿
Join us for a few hours tackling non-native Himalayan balsam to protect our native flowers!
It’s easy, wierdly addictive & good light outdoor physical activity. Also a good way to make new friends with likeminded people. Stay for an hour or as long as you're able.
Everyone is welcome of all ages including well behaved dogs and children.
