What a lovely surprise! 🎨🐝 When our volunteers arrived to tend the Dovecote gardens on Sunday, they met local artist Luke Alder, who was enjoying the garden, watching the bees and sketching this scene. Luke kindly donated his artwork to the Moseley Society. Thank you, Luke – we absolutely love it!

Lovely to see the Dovecote gardens being enjoyed during today’s Moseley in Bloom pop-up plant sale. 💜 Everyone commented on the beautiful lavender, buzzing with bees and filling the garden with its glorious scent. 🐝🌿

Missed it? The gardens are open again on Sat 25 July, 1–4pm.

Great to welcome Richard Parker (WM Mayor) + Cllr Izzy Knowles to the Moseley Society stall today.

Did you know there were 29 trains a day in 1906, compared with 31 today (4 on Sundays then, 14 now)? We love our new station and hope reliability improves so more people can enjoy travelling by rail.
