oin us for our weekly Wildlife Gardening Club.

This week we’ll be exploring the magical world of mosses. From creating soil to retaining water, mosses play a vital role in reclaiming space for life to thrive.

We’ll be investigating these micro-habitats out in the garden, looking at the ecosystems they support - from invertebrates like woodlice, slugs and beetles to pollinators and nesting birds - and how these spongy, hairy organisms provide food, shelter and building materials for a huge range of species.

Come join us and never look at moss on a wall in the same way again!

This event is free to attend but booking is recommend.

In this weekly yoga club we'll be exploring all elements of Yoga from the physical practice & breath to meditation, philosophy & beyond.

All levels of experience are welcome.

Bring a mat & wear something comfy. Every week at Altogether Otherwise.

This week we’ll be joining the UK’s biggest citizen science project and taking part in The Big Butterfly Count 2025 with the Butterfly Conservation Trust.

Last year’s count recorded the lowest number of butterflies spotted since the project began in 2010. That’s why 2025 is a critical year - your sightings can help reveal the true state of butterfly populations here in the UK. 

We’ll be taking several sets of recordings from different areas of the gardens and uploading our results to the National Survey via the Big Butterfly Count app.
