There are 2 open gardens in Leatherhead this Saturday, 3rd August, 10am-4pm, fundraising for Teazle Wood. Both are within walking distance of each other. 2A The Crescent at the bottom of Church Walk is opening to the public for the first time and probably only time. It’s a lovely secret garden tucked away behind an old brick wall. It’s a moving sale all must go – surplus plants from seedlings and cuttings, trees and shrubs. Plants for house & conservatory. Bulbs and packets of seeds. Flower arranging materials, pots baskets, macramé hangers, books and more!
1 Waterloo Cottages, (off Church Street) KT22 8EL and 2A are serving refreshments, including homemade cakes, and cream teas at 1 Waterloo Cottages from 2-4pm. They will also be selling bric-a-brac, cards and a carefully selected new range of fragrant candles by the Quinnell Candle Company (local stockist Fire & Iron Gallery) Proceeds to Teazle Wood.
Park in car park opposite St Mary’s & St Nicolas church.

The members of Leatherhead & District Countryside Protection Society(LDCPS) are delighted to support The Friends of Teazle Wood with a grant of£5000 towards enabling the improvement and maintenance of the precious ancient woodland. Our funds come from members’ subscriptions.LDCPS was formed in 1929. It has ten constitutional Objects. The first is to preserve from injury and disfigurement the rural scenery within the thenUrban District of Leatherhead, and in particular to defend, sustain andprotect from development the Metropolitan Green Belt of the area.An Object specific to areas like Teazle Wood is to preserve the arboreal beauties from injudicious felling or lopping of trees on both public and private land and advocating the planting of trees and shrubs in appropriate places. In tandem we encourage the preservation of all forms of wild life,both flora and fauna. Also of interest to The Friends of Teazle Wood is the Object to encourage the prevention of deposits of litter and rubbish and its removal where it occurs.We look forward to playing a part in preserving Teazle Wood for the community.

I spoke at the Natural Connections 2013 conference at the School of African & Oriental Studies recently. There was an incredible range of speakers, from DEFRA, the Environment Agency, the Wildlife Trusts, the Great Barrier Reef, the Ecosystem KnowledgeNetwork, the British Association of Nature Conservation, etc.Totally fascinating, and brilliantly organised by Dialogue Matters. I left with the exciting offer of the kids involved with TeazleWood being twinned with the Reef Guardians of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef – thank you, Jon – we are so excited about this! Thank you, Surrey Wildlife Trust / Jim Jones,for proposing me as a speaker – it was amazing.” Lucy Quinnell
