Join us for our weekly Wildlife Gardening Club.
This week, we welcome Orchardist and founder of Northern Lily CIC, Victoria Holden

Join us for our weekly Wildlife Gardening Club.
This week, we’re thrilled to welcome Orchardist and founder of Northern Lily CIC, Victoria Holden, for an inspiring deep dive into the fascinating world of fruit trees.
Did you know that fruit trees were first domesticated over 4,500 years ago? Here in the UK, we’ve shared a long and rich history with them, not just for their fruit, but for the wildlife they support. Fruit trees are often teeming with life, forming complex food webs that sustain birds, bats, mice, hedgehogs, and more.
Victoria will guide us through the essentials, from planting and soil health, to feeding, summer pruning and underplanting. You’ll leave with the knowledge to create your own thriving, productive mini orchard no matter the size of your garden.
This event is free to attend but booking is recommend

Writing Intimacies: A Workshop with Caroline Magennis
2025-07-16 18:00 - 20:00 | Altogether Otherwise, 6-10 Hanover Street, NOMA,, Manchester, England, M4 4BB, United Kingdom
A short reading, group discussion and a writing workshop focused on the theme of intimacy in fiction, life-writing and hybrid forms.

This event will feature a short reading, group discussion and a writing workshop focused on the theme of intimacy in fiction, life-writing and hybrid forms.
Caroline Magennis, author of Harpy: A Manifesto for Childfree Women (Icon 2024) and Northern Irish Writing After the Troubles: Intimacies, Affects, Pleasures (Bloomsbury 2021) will lead a discussion on this concept and how it has figured in her work – from the small moments of care and connection she has observed in contemporary Irish fiction through to the glimpses of intimacy in her memoir-writing. Intimacy can be anything from a hand on the shoulder, a glance from a friend in a crowded room or the complications of our romantic and/or sexual relationships. We will be inspired by each other’s experiences, cultural references and understanding to write and hold short intimate moments, whether fictional or drawn from life. All participants need to do is bring something to write with, and think beforehand about what intimacy means to them.

Myco Manchester are an ecological workers’ cooperative dedicated to building better relationships with fungi and will be our guides for this weeks session.
We’ll be heading out into the gardens and our local woodland to ask questions about what woodland plants and fungi can tell us about their environment; are they indicators of ancient woodland, how do people and animals use the space, and what can they tell us about the soil?This event is free to attend but booking is recommend.
