The University of Bristol Botanical Gardens hosted their annual bee and pollination festival at the weekend. The event was a roaring success attended by hundreds of people from both the local community and further afield. Staff and students from both the Urban Pollinator Project and the UoB Ecology Group had a great time working on our 'Forgotten Pollinators' stand where we explained the roles of the many different pollinator groups to the public.

Bramble Farm is a fantastic community based project based in the Knowle West area of Bristol. The project was started in 2008 with the help of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (River Cottage) and has been going strong ever since. The farm is run by local families who reclaimed an area of wasteland and now grow their own produce as well as keeping chickens, ducks and pigs.
