Blog: The Abundant Perennial

A recent collaborative session between FNV and the Friends of Trittiford Park saw many volunteers come together to clear the encroaching, non-native cherry laurel that has taken over a section of hedging in the park. The forest garden being established here will see a great number of biodiverse, edible perennial plants and trees go into the site, which will be more suitable to serve the community and the park’s wildlife in the long-term.

More than 60 people gathering in Calthorpe Interfaith Community Orchard in Calthorpe Park, Balsall Heath, 14th June 2026, for another beautiful community picnic and orchard care session - bringing people together across faiths and cultures.

We planted more fruit trees in on 9th February with Birmingham Progressive Synagogue for Tu B'Shvat.
