We invite you to celebrate with us in the gorgeous green spaces of Hawbush Community Gardens. The celebrations will deepen our connection to the local landscape and wildlife, through activities that interweave the beauty and power of the seasons with the value of being in community, encouraging us to reflect and participate in nature’s shifts throughout the year. Activities suitable for all ages and abilities will be offered ; nature trails, planting and growing, sound baths, nature crafts, and music. We will explore traditional heritage crafts such as blacksmithing, greenwood work, weaving, fire-bricks and mini chain-making with wire, that connect us to our collective local history. We will celebrate the beauty and wisdom of nature, cultivate wellbeing, and build a stronger, more cohesive community
Our spring and summer Everwild Festivals have been a huge success. In June over 350 people joined us to enjoy our free community festival at Hawbush Community Gardens. The incredible Wagamama crew came to cook for us alongside our Cob Oven Pizza Team. We had a host of exciting activities including Printing, cob creations, herbalism, live music, knot making, Forest School, animals and so much more.

Reclaim our Roots is a community herbalism project, encouraging participants to engage with the seasonal cycles through the exploration of local plant companions.
In 2024 a group of people came together to explore the herbs growing wild around the site at Hawbush Gardens, to connect with each plant, learning about their virtues and weaving connections between art, community and nature.
At each session we met a chosen plant ally, guiding us into deeper connection through activities like tea tasting and crafting folk medicine while sharing our personal plant stories and collaborative creativity.
We are now halfway through our 2025 gatherings. To enquire about participating in 2026 please email Clare@ekhocollective.com
Join us on the Wellbeing Garden in 2025 to explore how we can apply Permaculture principles at a local level.
This year we are taking a deeper dive into 'Earth Care' exploring wildlife friendly gardening, regenerative techniques, composting, biodynamic sowing, propagating and general growing skills.
We are learning alongside each other and seeking out inspiration from other growing communities.
We would love to welcome you if you are interested in growing & gardening and helping us continue to develop a climate action plan for our local community
