Join us in Selly Oak for a Community Planting Day celebrating Tu BiShvat (the Jewish New Year of the Trees) and St Brigid’s Day (celtic spring festival, celebrated in Ireland). Both festivals mark renewal, nature and the hopeful turn towards spring.

Together, we’ll celebrate the first signs of the season changing by planting herbs and flowers in Guild-owned planters across Selly Oak, helping to create greener, more welcoming community spaces.

After planting, we’ll head to Grounded Wellbeing Café in Selly for a free snack to finish off.

🌱 FREE SEED PACKS & A SNACK
No experience needed — just enthusiasm and clothes you don’t mind getting a little muddy!
