Quay Theatre
Siam Gardens.
A big hello to all who stopped at our stall in the Town Hall! It was lovely to meet so many people interested in joining us to help make Sudbury greener.
Why not pop along to Siam Gardens this Friday, 10 March, to say hello and see what we do? We will be there at roughly 10:00 – 11:00am, before moving on to the raised beds outside the entrance to the Kingfisher Leisure Centre at around 11:00-12 noon. The edible bed needs a bit of a tidy up and we will take a fresh look at the wildflower bed.
A quick reminder that Darren Lerigo’s talk is on Sunday afternoon, 12 March at the Quay Theatre – it promises to be an interesting and useful talk. We hope to see you there.

A Look Back at 2016
Happy New Year to you all from everyone at greenerSudbury!
It’s always interesting to look back at what’s been achieved over the previous year before preparing for the new one. We met before Christmas for a glass of wine, some home-made mince pies, and a very relaxed end of year celebration.
At the beginning of 2016 we lost our valued member, Jane Carter – but we remember her with great fondness. During the year we continued maintaining the beds she helped create at the Kingfisher Leisure Centre, as well as the tubs at the back of Roy’s and, in May, we began an ongoing project working on the grounds around the Quay Theatre.
We enjoyed a couple of walks in June to enjoy the wild flowers at Coppins Farm, visited The Apricot Centre in August to learn about permaculture and Tiger Hill in October for a Fungus Foray. We invited speakers Dan Wheals and Bob Flowerdew to talk at the Quay Theatre.
In November, the team returned to the bypass near the Homebase roundabout to do some planting, in the hope that the area will bloom for wildlife – and for people – in the summer!
At Siam Gardens, greenerSudbury worked with Orwell Housing residents, Sudbury Town Council community wardens, and Suffolk County Council Community Resilience team to tidy, cut back, sweep up and plant bulbs supplied through Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils. This initiated an exciting community horticulture project rolling out in Sudbury in the near future…
For your diary! The next Siam Garden work party will be on Wednesday 18th January from 9:30 – 11:30am.
Here’s to a happier, healthier and greener Sudbury in 2017!
Final Friday Tidy of 2016!
Everyone at Greener Sudbury wishes you
a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
We have had our own pre-Christmas celebration, and planned our final Friday Tidy of 2016 – a great way to work off some of the festive excess!
Please join us on Friday 30 December, between 10 am and 12 noon, at the Quay car park for some tidying up and a few mince pies!

Dan Wheals at the Quay
Greener Sudbury is delighted to invite you to the Quay Theatre on Tuesday 19th July 7-9pm for a talk by Dan Wheals, a fully qualified and practicing medical herbalist.
This will take place on the evening of Tuesday 19th July (7pm to 9pm) at the Geoff Kisby room on the top floor of the Quay Theatre. Some of us have been to a previous talk by Dan and found it very engaging. We’ll have a chance to try some herb teas and possibly venture out for half an hour to look at nearby herbs and gardening developments in the Quay grounds.
Admission is £4 from the Quay Theatre box office or on line.
Dan Wheals is a Member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists and keen herb grower. Involved with local community gardens, green groups and transition town groups, Dan loves bringing community into his work as a herbalist. Community Herbal Medicine is about bringing the healing of herbs to people through medicine but also the power of shared experiences such as community gardening. Using Permaculture design and his experience with groups Dan will give a short talk about herbal medicine’s role in healthcare today and then take a herb walk to survey the areas intended for a community garden. Finally we will taste some freshly picked herb teas and there will be a chance for your questions.
