Volunteer Gardener and Bee Keeper
We have 7 bee hives on site, and are passionate about caring for these precious members of our British eco-system. Very sadly, like many bees in Worcester, all our bees died earlier this month. We have replaced 3 colonies, and are currently fundraising for more, much to the excitement of our Year 5 and 6 pupils who help us care for the bees.
In addition, God has gifted us such a peaceful and beautiful 8 acre site to enjoy and care for. The site used to be a horticultural college and has extensive borders, a walled garden, a nature pond, an orchard and a gem of a forest school.
Our volunteer team do a great job keeping the site so beautifully, but there is always more to do, including re-imagining some areas of the gardens
