Planet South Bank’s Community Garden (‘The Nose’), beside St Clements Church, has become a real feature of our local community.
Each Spring through to Autumn we hold fortnightly gardening sessions to maintain and sustain the garden. The sessions are free, and open to anyone – no gardening skills required.
(We’re also planning some local litter-picks – interested to join in? Contact us at info@planetsouthbank.org.uk, or drop in to one of the Sunday sessions).
The regular garden sessions are a great chance to relax, meet local people, and to enjoy learning how to garden for flowers and for producing fruit and veg.
Sundays, 2-3pm:
March 12 and 26
April 9 (potato planting) and 23 (Spring Fair)
May 9 and 21
June 4 and 18
July 2, 16 and 30 (fruit picking)
August 13 and 27
September 3 and 17

Contact info@planetsouthbank.org.uk or just turn up.
We’ve heard about this event:
This Wednesday evening, 25 January 2023, York Cycle Campaign will launch 42 Ways to Transform York – its manifesto for a better city.
More information from the York Cycle Campaign:
How can York become the healthiest, happiest and most equitable city in the UK?
We’ve spent the last year identifying what we believe is required to set our wonderful city on the path to achieving its full potential. Our starting point was to understand what was needed to create a cycle-friendly city, but – because movement is about so much more than getting from A to B – the end point is a city where everyone in York is able to lead better lives and to thrive.
The launch event takes place on Wednesday 25th January at the Priory Street Centre, York. The event starts at 7pm. Get your free ticket here: Tickets – 42 Ways
Copies of the manifesto will be available on the night and refreshments will be provided.
