Quiz night with socially distanced meal:
All are welcome to join us for the quiz, but the meals are only available to residents of Harrow Weald.
The next Friends’ (online) Supper Quiz takes place on Saturday 30 January 2021 at 7 pm.
Adopt a tree and help us to grow a forest, while staying socially distanced. As well as helping our environment you will have the opportunity to win a prize.
This event is only available for residents living locally to Harrow Weald.
We invite you to adopt some sapling trees, to pot up and nurture in a quiet corner of your garden or outdoor space. These trees will need to be kept watered and weed free for two years, until we will reclaim them and plant them out. Some garden feed added from time to time will help to give you the pleasure of seeing the saplings grow stronger and more mature, until the time when your tree is available for all to see, with your name displayed on it.
Gardeners' Question Time
This is an online event: Our special guest is Christopher Young of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).
