Since the last post, just over a week ago, there have been many conversations in anticipation of the first Skelmorlie Wellbeing Festival taking place in August/September 2024. This will be dependent on funding, but it’s necessary to plan so that we can act quickly upon funding. Skelmorlie Nature & Wellbeing Festival Planning Meeting We had […]
Tonight is the night, 7pm at the Community centre! Join us for the plant sale and film night. Absolutely blown away by the generosity of camera-shy Reece at All Hands On Earth for our plant sale. He has kindly given us some beautiful – not quite fit for sale but still very much alive – […]
So who’s excited for green screen night with plant sale this time next week??? We cannot wait for an excuse to buy plants, have some chat and watch a film together. Pictured are just small selection of just some of the plants getting ready for their new homes – and there are a lot more […]

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers for your support, help, presence, baking, ideas, muscles & energy! The committee are tired, delighted and satisfied after a day of planting. We were so effective that we had to slow down to allow some trees to be left for the afternoon team to plant. Lunch was fantastic with […]
From getting the grant awarded to planting day has been quite a quick turnaround, but we’ve made it through, and are all ready for action tomorrow. Our volunteers have had a plan emailed out to them, we’re delighted that so many people are going to join us. In the lead-up, and with liaison from various […]
