This April, we’ll be growing together – join us for fun and informative activities for all ages where you can get into community gardening and explore what you can grow at home, too.

Get crafty making paper plant pots, make your own cress character to grow at home, or learn how to grow fruit and vegetables at our GreenFingers gardening groups across the area.

We’re so excited to be part of the Big Give – Green Match Fund again the year!

Donations made to us via the Big Give website during the week of 22-29 April will be doubled – at no extra cost to you or our charity. That means you can make double the difference in your local park.

Our theme this year is ‘Growing Together’ – all about community growing.

If you’d like to donate, save the date: Tuesday 22 – Tuesday 29 April

We were extremely grateful to receive funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, Public Health Dorset, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund to improve 14 community parks over the past two years for people and for nature – and we’d love to know what you think.

We really appreciate your feedback about our activities, changes we’ve made in parks, and how you use these spaces. Thank you for helping us reflect on the last two years, and continue to best serve our community.

Are you, or do you know someone aged 16-25 years old who’d like to gain valuable environmental skills? Applications are open for our free Ranger Work Experience sessions taking place in parks across Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole.

Redhill paddling pool has been a family staple for years, drawing local parents and children to Redhill Park each summer.

This summer, those of us enjoying the Redhill paddling pool can make a voluntary donation towards the continued opening of the pool. All donations (small or large) will support the pool’s high maintenance costs and make a real difference to the sustainability of the pool.

Together, we can keep Redhill paddling pool open for future generations of children to enjoy. Thank you for your support. Click to find out more.
