Together with St Bartholomew's Church, we took part in the first Winchester Garden Festival in June 2025 with a day of community events based at St Bart's and in Hyde Abbey Garden.
Visitors listened to an illustrated and enlightening 'Magic of Soil' talk by horticultural expert Chris I. Bird, before getting their hands in the dirt during a practical session in Hyde Abbey Garden.
Local councillor Nathan Eve visited Hyde Abbey Garden where minibeast displays and a trail, plant sale, display of Abbey archaeology were also on offer along with exhibits from Hampshire Wildlife Trust and Wilder Hyde.
Local guide Anna Withers gave tours of Hyde, and a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party and barbecue were held at St Bart's in aid of their Give to Go Green appeal.
