Greener Henley plant party

Greener Henley member, Diana Barnett, gives a speech at the Town Hall

Henley plant party for 'foster parents'

A CLIMATE and nature action charity in Henley has held its first “plant party”.

Greener Henley held the event in a committee room at the town hall  on Thursday last week.

It was organised ahead of the relaunch of Nature Squared which is run in collaboration with the town council and the Henley Standard.

For those without a basic grasp of Warwickshire geography, Snitterfield is just south of the M40, and the A46 seems to run most of the way from the car park at Cheltenham Racecourse, diagonally towards Mansfield. It’s not a road I ever intend to travel again.
