Put the date in your diary – on Saturday 18 May, there’s an exciting opportunity to visit some of the delightful wild gardens around Woodbridge, Melton and Hasketon!

Following the success of last year’s Open Wild Gardens event, once again you can wander around a range of local gardens, get inspired to create your own wild space, and enjoy tea and cake!

The gardens on display will showcase a wide range of features from small front gardens to glorious wildflower meadows, ponds and hedgerows.

Visit the ‘Wildlife Corridors Open Day’ page to find out which gardens will be opening their gates, see them all on a map, and start planning your wonderful, wild day!

We in Woodbridge and Melton are very fortunate to have Cupboard Love to get refills and plastic free goods on our personal journeys to reduce our use of single use plastics. Cupboard Love, for those of you not familiar, is at the Woodbridge Thursday Market at the Shire Hall from 9-1pm on Thursday Mornings. Cupboard Love also visits Framlingham Market. Please do try to support this business if you can.

Poppy’s Pantry in Melton also do refills!  They’re at The Sidings, Wilford Bridge Road, down near the railway station. And Grange Farm Shop, Hasketon, do some refills too.

For those of you who live in Ipswich/Rushmere area, there’s Lucy’s Unwrapped & Refill shop on Woodbridge Road, Ipswich. The shop stocks a huge range of refillable wares and is open five days a week. There is also a small amount of parking directly outside and a bike park too.

Finally the Adnams shop in Woodbridge does refills of its Copper House Gin. As there are marketing and alcohol laws surrounding refills, the shop can only refill Adnams Copper House Gin bottles, but you’ll save £5 if you buy this way!
