This Sponge Tree project at Esholt Hall Gardens is to develop a Community Kitchen Garden and Community Wellbeing hub. We are delighted to be able to start sharing with you this beautiful heritage location, owned by Yorkshire Water. Come and meet the Sponge Tree team and have a nosey around, see what is being done, ask questions about the plans and enjoy how the site develops and grows on these tours in each upcoming season.
The site has a rich heritage, with the kitchen garden once providing the fruit and vegetables for Bradford market and the formal gardens of Esholt Hall which were once enjoyed by the Calverley Family amongst others.
As plans develop for the restoration of Esholt Hall to become a conference and wellbeing centre, Sponge Tree are rebuilding, nurturing and developing the natural spaces around the hall. We invite you to become part of our community. Our vision is to invite you to come and run your own projects, classes, courses or learn new skills, or simply enjoy the natural space, nurture your own sense of wellbeing and have your own adventures here.
We are open to discussion's, comments and ideas, please ask as many questions as you like, if we can answer them we will. This is our first tour and we intend to run them every 3 months so you can share our excitement as things change with the seasons.
About The Host: Heygo started as a way for co-founders John and Liam to keep exploring new places. As avid travellers themselves, they wanted to help people stay connected with the world and for those in the travel industry to continue doing what they love.They believe that travel is an incredibly important way to break down cultural barriers and understand the world through other people’s eyes. They also recognize it is often a privilege reserved for the few. For many people, hopping on a plane half-way around the world is out of reach and comes with serious consequences for our planet’s health.John and Liam realised that there needed to be a way to embrace the culture of other countries in an environmentally conscious way; to still travel when family obligations makes it difficult to get away; and to keep exploring even when an injury or disability means travelling is harder.So that’s why they created Heygo - a travel specific live-streaming platform. One that would allow local guides to share the places they know best with the hope that it can bring people around the world closer together.
