Dame Emily Park

At My Wild Dame Emily Park Forest School last week we made musical shakers from sticks. We learnt the shaker song, watered the garden and searched for minibeasts. Todays session is cancelled due to the weather but I will be running a session at the Nature Festival in Dame Emily Park Community Garden on Monday evening at 5pm. Looking forward to seeing you then or next Thursday at 2pm.

Just to let you know I have taken the decision to cancel today's My Wild Dame Emily Park Forest School due to the rain, predicted thunderstorms and high wind gusts.
Looking forward to seeing you next Thursday at 2pm.

My Wild Dame Emily Park will be at the earlier time of 10.30am on Thursday. We will be gathering under the trees. I am aiming to make some musical instruments with the children. Please be aware we will be using buttons and small bells which are a choking risk. T
If you find a stick like the one below please do bring it along. Please email [email protected] to book a place. The sessions are free and last one hour.

Stick Man was spotted at My Wild Dame Emily Park Forest School last week! We had a busy time finding flowers to colour in pictures, watering the community garden and looking for frogs in the pond. Looking forward to seeing you all on Thursday at the earlier time of 10.30am.

Hello lovely garden humans 🌿
This Bank Holiday Monday (25th) we continue our heroic battle against w**ds, rogue bluebells, sneaky snails and general garden chaos 😄 Here are the glorious tasks for the evening, 5pm!

Butterflies were fluttering in Dame Emily Park last week. Forest Schoolers from My Wild Dame Emily Park had learnt all about 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' and made beautiful butterfly kites. We also went to the community garden and found lots of bugs, flowers and herbs. Tomorrow we are making 'stickman'. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

What a beautiful gardening session we shared today 🌱🌦️
Even the drizzle couldn’t dampen our spirits as so many helping hands came together to plant, w**d, mulch, and harvest. There’s something truly special about working side by side, caring for the earth and each other.
And of course, no community day would be complete without delicious cake — and not just one! Huge thanks to Mandy for bringing such a wonderful variety that kept everyone smiling 🍰💚
A very special congratulations to Andrea and Tiziana on their marriage 💍✨
We were so happy to celebrate with them and present them with a card and a lemon tree — a little reminder that if marriage ever brings sour lemons, together they can always turn them into sweet lemonade 🍋🥂
Thank you to everyone who came, helped, laughed, shared, and made today so memorable. Our garden grows stronger because of this amazing community.
