Join us to co-create 10 Trees in community, as a space for the community. We’ll be caring for the garden’s orchard, perennial beds, meadows, copses and more using gardening and conservation skills. There will be opportunities to learn from each other as we go, gathering news skills and friends along the way.

Seed Gathering in the Wild.
10-1pm on Friday 21st November
Join National Trust rangers and the 10 Trees team on a very special seed hunt. Adventure into cloughs and wooded slopes to find a handful of the High Peak’s most beautiful and well-adapted trees and save their seeds for the future.
The seeds will help preserve the important qualities of these special trees, and in turn create a new generation of saplings with a hyper-local genetic blueprint. Trees planted from these seeds are more likely to be well-matched to the unique landscapes of the area, and so flourish.
The new trees will be grown on at 10 Trees, part of a new network of community tree nurseries for the High Peak and Hope Valley.
Homes for Trees.
10-1pm on Friday 28th November
Help create the first home for a new community tree nursery for the High Peak and Hope Valley.
National Trust rangers will lead a build day at 10 Trees garden to construct a small tree nursery of raised beds, paths and cloches that will house the acorns and other seeds we gathered at our Autumn Celebration and Seed Gathering in the Wild days.
If you want to work with your hands in the open air for a morning, or you want to support tree planting in the valley, please join us - and a bowl of delicious Open House soup will be on offer as a thank you.
