Garden Party!

Come and join us for a celebration of all that has been achieved during the course of the Keighley Garden of Life project! The Town Mayor will be attending to officially open the space and there will be music, refreshments and plenty of good cheer.

At the celebration, the DalesMandala Team will be handing over the space to the newly formed Green Team who will keep an eye on the Garden until we all come together again for the quarterly planting days planned throughout the year.

After plenty of hard graft, sweat and toil, it will be great to see everyone who has made the project such a success in the garden together. All the contributors have been invited and it will be a great opportunity to see just how many people have pitched in to make the project come to life.

So bring a bottle, bring a friend, pray for good weather and we'll see you on Sunday!

If you have any questions or enquiries, please email us.

Planting Day 3

The final Planting Day is nearly upon us!

With plenty left to do we're hoping for an inspiring turnout this Sunday to complete the final day of digging and planting. The boulders will be going in during the week along with the beginnings of the entrance circle, due to logistical constraints, but there will be a plethora of other jobs to complete on our final planting day.

We've got nine of these beauties - generously donated by Gillsons Quarry, Haworth

We will be adding to the wildlife trail, completing the entrance circle with bark chip and a planted central ring, the tractor tyre needs planting and the boulders may need bark chip around their bases. We will be adding spur paths from the entrance circle to the various features of the garden and you never know, we may even finish the pond!!!

Plenty to do, plenty to see, plenty to get involved in. Come along whenever you can, pray for good weather and, if you haven't already, go on to Facebook and join the Green Team! We need as many people as possible to ensure that the garden will stay looking great for future generations. See you there!

Planting Day 2

The second planting day is intended to bring places to sit, eat and socialise into the garden. It will involve assembling some garden furniture, including picnic benches and arbour seats and we're hoping to make a start on the bird trail! We're not making any more stepping stones but we are hoping to get some more into the ground as the paths start to take shape. We'll be finishing the fence around the pond and then hopefully the shape of the garden will start to take form. See you all on Sunday!

Once again, bring clothes that are suitable for gardening and make sure you have enough to eat and drink! Bring tools along if you can but make sure they have your name on and don't forget to take them home.
