City Gardening with Green Hustle
Green Hustle CIC hold the annual Green Hustle Festival, a celebration of nature, community action and creativity. But, Green Hustle is more than a festival. Working with communities to leave long term change to the landscape of our city, in the past 3 years they have planted over 5000 trees and created a wildlife friendly patch, Wilford St Wildlife Ramp, to connect people with nature. This patch needs monthly maintenance and some community spirit to keep it looking vibrant!

Wilford Street Wildlife Ramp used to be an overlooked greenspace covered in litter. Thanks to volunteers, this space has been transformed into a wildlife garden bursting with creativity, native plant species and habitats. Come along and find out more!

Activities may include planting, removing brambles, pruning, watering, sign making, building dead hedges, making bug hotels, etc. This is wildlife gardening, so our aim isn't to keep it neat or tidy, but to help it thrive.

Meet at Wilford Street Wildlife Ramp, 10 Wilford Street, NG1 7AU

The task will be from 2pm to 3.30pm
