Open Gardens
Would you like to open your garden on Saturday 29th June 2024.
Your garden is a personal space that reflects your passion and creativity; it’s not about competing with others. It’s a place where you can express yourself and contribute to a cause that’s close to your heart by raising funds for a charity you believe in. If the idea of sharing your garden’s beauty with others while supporting a good cause intrigues you, we invite you to reach out for more detailed information on how you can participate in this rewarding experience.

Crosspool Christmas Tree Recycling

If you are a Crosspool resident and looking for a way to dispose of your real Christmas tree after the festive season, why not join the Crosspool Forum in their eco-friendly initiative? They are offering a shredding service for a small donation, which will help you recycle your tree and reduce waste.

Drag your tree down to the front of Direct Travel’s premises on Sunday 7th January 2023, between 10am and 11.30am, where Andrew Clayton, a local tree specialist, will be ready to recycle it for you. The shredded material will be used for mulching and composting purposes.

The Crosspool Forum is grateful to Direct Travel for their generous support and cooperation in this project. They hope to see many Crosspool residents participate and contribute to the community’s environmental aims.
