No doubt you will have seen these volunteers working in the gardens. The group was formed to help safeguard
and maintain Charlotte Druitt's wishes that, in gifting the gardens to the people of Christchurch,the gardens
be maintained as a'gardens of peace and a bird sanctuary'.
You'll be aware that these lands are constantly under threat of development for other purposes.
The group encourages appreciation of nature and wildlife by all, especially young people, and have established
a 'Wildlife Education Area' at the rear of Druitt Hall. They have successfully encouraged an increase in the bird population,
worked with CADArts to install the popular 'Acorn' carving, cleared areas of ground and planted new trees, snowdrops and
bluebells etc. Working with the 'Connecting Christchurch' project, a 'sensory garden area' is currently being formed.
New volunteers are really really welcome to support the Friends and Christchurch Town Council in this work in the whole of Druitt Gardens.
Some welcome and some not-so-welcome visitors to the gardens!
