As part of the @The_RHS Grow with It campaign, we have welcomed the Brownies back to the community garden to harvest the seeds from the Cosmos wildflowers they planted last spring. They'll return next spring to sow all these seeds for more flowers!
Last chance to book yourself a woodland #wellbeing afternoon to appreciate the gradual change from greens to goldens & reds in this #Autumnal #forestbathing session in the Surrey Hills! A #mindful afternoon, Saturday 5/10/24 near #Guildford. Book today! bit.ly/47xm3FJ

Last spring we planted #GrowWithIt seeds from @RHS with local Brownies. Here the flowers are looking great. Only watered by rain or harvested rainwater at our community garden Eashing Cemetery Community Garden and Orchard in #Godalming facebook.com/ECCGandO
In Godalming&Ash we're trying to make it "the climate crisis election...speaking truth to power...that this really can’t wait...every other issue will either get worse or become irrelevant if we don’t hit net zero" @zoesqwilliams with our climate hustings

2. Many #Generalelection issue root causes are climate! Energy - green infrastructure. Economy - green jobs. Migration - people can't live in countries @ 40c+. NHS/mental/physcial ill health - green social prescriptions. Food prices - more small holdings & locally grown produce.
1. We’re part of the Future Economy Alliance campaign because, as one of millions of organisations that put a mission at the heart of our work everyday, we know how much better things could be if more organisations were like this.

Last week we planted a native hedgerow in the Surrey Hills with 6 & 7 year olds from a local school. 153 trees planted by the next generation for future generations of people and critters. A fun way to mark the 50th anniversary of plant a tree in '73. #TreeParty #Nationaltreeweek

Back in the summer, our Ockford Ridge #Rainbows, #Brownies, #Guides and Leaders enjoyed a day out at Wisley Gardens, organised by the lovely Francesca from @rootsforfuture
We love seeing all the different sections coming together!

Limiting impact on the #Environment is a step all #Business needs to work towards, but some are going even further, helping to restore #Nature as well as protecting it. The finalists for the #CREST23 Restoring Nature Award are: @AlburyVineyard, @rootsforfuture and @Plantpassion!
Delighted we got a grant from @SurreyClimate for tools to make our workshops even more accessible. Tools for older people, people with physical restrictions and for much smaller children will mean we can be even more inclusive when we plant trees.

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? We don't, Twitter reminded us! Don't think Twitter has improved much since then, and the dog is awful! But there we go...

Does your group need funding for #environment projects in #Surrey? We’re launching a small grant fund. It’s quick and easy to apply, but don’t dally! Deadline is 4pm on 17 March. Visit surreyclimate.org.uk/news/la… for details.
Given our #treeplanting workshops focus on engaging children and young people in tackling the climate crisis, we were gutted to discover our children's spades were stolen over the festive period. Please help us by sparing a few quid towards replacing them

Roots for the Future needs your help to help replace our stolen tools. On new years eve our children's spades were stolen and we can't get kids involved in our tree planting workshops without them. If you can spare a few quid, it would really help! Thanks!

Yesterday for #NationalTreeWeek we planted a hedgerow of 250 native saplings, and four larger trees with staff of @RoyalSurrey, volunteers from @UniOfSurrey Students' Union and @ZeroGuildford, as well as passers by. Heroic work!
A @MedirestUK sponsored event.
#WhoKnew @rootsforfuture plants trees with communities near to where they live, learn, work and play? We focus on children and young people with the vision that the next generation will live more harmoniously with nature.

It's #NationalHedgerowWeek - a week to shout to recognise, celebrate and protect the humble hedgerow. So we are shouting - WE LOVE PLANTING HEDGEROWS! They improve our health and happiness, plus they're fun to plant. So we wish you a very HAPPY HEDGEROW WEEK!
