Thanks to all those that came to our #DailyThread #workshop on Saturday. Some lovely unique and #reusable white and red #poppies were made to remember the war dead and promote peace. Missed out? Come along this Thursday, for another chance to make a #poppy. #communitytextiles

Anyone considering lighting a Bon fire over the next few days please take a moment to consider 🦔. Don’t build your Bon fire until shortly before you light it & when you do only light one corner first to give these guys a chance to get up & escape. Have a safe weekend all 👍

I know that growing #cucurbits takes minimal skill or planning, but so proud of these amazing #bushmarrows. Prolific crops from one plant. Delicious and underrated. #growyourown – at Birmingham, England

Amazed by the vigour of our #kurisquash on #Springfieldallotments in #Birmingham. All that growth over a 5 week period! Can’t wait for the harvest. #growyourown – at Birmingham, England

So enjoyed seeing my friend @beccysallen be installed and inducted as the #newpriest at St Columba’s Church in #BannersGate last night. And the #teaparty afterwards was excellent! Congratulations Beccy x – at Birmingham, England

Really stressful cycle tonight, including @WMPolice officers' asking us to cycle single file on narrow stretch of Wake Green Road. Shocked and disappointed. Not the best way to encourage #cycling in Birmingham. #notpolicy #dangerous @CycleSouthBrum cyclinguk.org/article/whats-… – at West Midlands, England

What’s legal – and what’s not – on your bike?

Riding two abreast, in the middle of the lane, with or without lights, reflectors and hi-vis – what does the law say, what does the Highway Code advise, and what are just urban myths? Cycling UK’s...

Take a look at our pictures from our @GrowHistory foraging walk, led by Rob Tilling from @LetsGrowToBham. We had a great time and learnt a lot about edible plants in nature! @ashianacp @heritagelottery #forager #nature #plants #HealthyFood #outdoors #exercise #environment

So impressed with @StarbucksUK in Gretna Green. Giving away bags of used #coffee as part of #GroundsforyourGarden initiative. Spread around plants, it repels slugs & ants, is food for #earthworms, and it reduces #landfill waste. What’s not to love? #zerowastelife #slugfreelife

Our 2018 crop of #jerusalemartichokes is well underway. Now understand why, once planted, they are a lifelong companion. Only planted 3, yet there are 30 new plants emerging! They are even sprouting in the compost bin. #growyourown. #localfood.
