Tree care = people care: a community gathering.

10 Trees is home to hundreds of trees, many planted more than a decade before, and all greatly in need of human stewardship! Join us for a heart-warming day spent in community caring for these trees - and discover how tree care and fresh air can also be self care too.

What can you expect?

  • Meet a tree, get to know it and bring it back to life with a winter prune

  • Help with our great big sapling rescue and community hedge planting

  • Prepare seed for the next generation of hawthorn trees in our community tree nursery 

  • Co-create a beech tree maze: help shape a special space in the garden for little people 

  • Enjoy a steaming bowl of soup for lunch, followed by a led forest bathing activity

  • Warm yourself with music-making and a fire, weather permitting

Help make this a big community gathering. Bring your family and friends. Warm your bodies and hearts with hard work. Co-create the experience with others, and come away feeling more connected and grounded at the end of the day. Everyone is welcome - there is part to play for young and old, whatever your experience or ability.
