Join us for our annual plant sale. The plants we sell are grown by our learning disability group, the Hollybush project, and our Health and Wellbeing garden groups and all money raised goes back into supporting the work Hollybush does. 

We'll have hundreds of plants for sale, including annuals, perennials and edible plants, shrubs and small trees. 

We'll also have lots of handmade woodwork and craft items for the garden and home, and the cafe will be open for refreshments, including lots of homemade cake!

Come on down get your hands dirty and reconnect with nature. Help us shape our new Community Garden Space and learnt how to grow your own food. We'll provide all the necessary tools, so you can dive right in and contribute to our thriving vegetable garden. These sessions are open to anyone looking for a green space to grow in, or even just a break from your day. Bring along your friends or make some new ones!

Why Volunteer?

With help from 'The Friends of Skelton Grange', our Easter Good Friday event is a glorious outdoor trail wandering through the woods and gardens at Skelton Grange. Complete a treasure hunt along the way and trade in your trove for a chocolatey Easter surprise at the end! The event is a fundraiser for the Centre, but also a great chance for families to enjoy some Easter fun!

The Skelton Café will be open to purchase hot beverages and sweet treats at the end. There will be a campfire along the trail and crafts/activities to be announced.

Guided walk for families and beginners looking at Fungi at Temple Newsam. The walk aims to find examples of all the major genus of fungi so that the participants can more quickly identify all kinds of mushrooms.

The walk is about 3 miles and covers woodlands, grasslands, and a variety of different habitats. There is an introduction to picking, collecting, identifying and advice on edibility.
