Planting dates 2021

Public planting days at Shakespear for 2021 are 20 June & 18 July.

Please note that this year you must book so the Council can mange numbers and meet covid19 requirements. And if the weather is bad enough to cancel you’ll get an email.

You can easily do this online by following these links: 20 June , 18 July. If you subsequently decide not to go please cancel your ticket to make it available to someone else.

This year groups of 10 or more may also have their own planting days by arrangement, preferably during the week. Please complete this form to propose a date (this is not for public planting days).

Planting is from 10am to 1pm, and followed by a free BBQ.  Follow signs at the park entrance to planting site.  Dress for the weather and wear closed footwear suitable for a muddy slope.  Please watch the weather forecast,  but planting usually goes ahead regardless of the weather (if in doubt check our facebook page). Gloves and spades are provided but feel free to bring your own.
