SUMMARY:Next Steps in Gardening for Wildlife
DESCRIPTION:Understanding life cycles of the wildlife in our gardens is critical when we’re planning what to do\, what to add\, and what to change each year.  With this theme in mind\, we will use our structure of Food\, Shelter and Water to explore what you have in your garden and what you could do next to understand and support that wildlife. We’ll also explore a practical monitoring system\, which will help you with your decisions. \nThrough the workshop\, we explore these questions: \n\nWhat can we do to increase the amount of natural food for wildlife in our gardens?  From soil upwards\, what makes the most difference?\nHow do we provide natural shelter for wildlife that supports their life cycles? What part of their life cycles requires what shelter?\nHow much water and in what ways should we provide it?  Weather permitting\, this element will include a site visit to two gardens in the centre of Stroud to explore the power of micro ponds.\n\nThere will be plenty of time for you to discuss your own garden during the workshop.  You will be asked to do some homework before the workshop\, which will involve spending at least 15 minutes exploring and reminding yourself what you currently have in your garden.

SUMMARY:Propagation: Sowing Seeds and Taking Cuttings
DESCRIPTION:This relaxed and friendly course aims to grow your skills and knowledge in propagation techniques\, enabling you to produce plants at home with confidence. \nLearn how to produce a variety of garden plants through sowing seed and vegetative propagation including softwood cuttings\, basal cuttings and division. The latter involves lifting the plant from the ground and separating into smaller pieces for replanting or growing on in pots. Dividing perennials regularly encourages healthy\, vigorous plants which perform year after year. \nYou’ll also get tips on the best tools\, containers and growing media to use and advice on how to grow on your plants. You’ll be encouraged to ask questions and will take home your potted cuttings.

SUMMARY:Green Man\, Dark Earth: Faces of an Archetype
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this evening event – a personal exploration of one of Britain’s most known and unknown images. \nThe Green Man is a carved male head\, surrounded by or disgorging leaves. His image embodies the beautiful and the sinister\, and can be seen as both a life and death force: he offers the possibility of a reconnection with our intuitive sense of nature. Despite his primordial roots\, this figure continues to regenerate and  has recently re-surfaced as a contemporary image that challenges our attitude to identity and our place in the world. \nComing at a time of crisis – when attitudes to our natural environment are seriously challenged – this talk  will examine the positive and negative aspects of growth and how we might engage with this re-emerging  image of the Green Man as a symbol to mediate and counterbalance our attitude towards nature\, both inner and outer.
