Parwich & District Horticultural Society – Biodiversity Project
Posted in Environment, Gardens on Monday January 26, 2026| Leave a Comment »
At the end of last year we had to submit an evaluation report to Derbyshire Wildlife Trust about our project, and at the AGM we thought more people in the village would be interested to see – [report]
We will be continuing the theme this year with Society funds and any grants we can access, with the focus on our gardens and helping maintain Pump Hill and Millennium Green.
If you are not a member of PDHS but are interested in getting involved, please email parwichhorticultural@gmail.com and we will keep you posted.

You may have seen the post on here regarding the generous distribution of funds by our Horticultural Society. One of the beneficiaries is the blog for which we offer our heartfelt thanks!
The blog team endeavour to provide a service to the village, be that advertising forthcoming events, news on happenings around the village or just photos of village life. Whilst run by volunteers and the basic WordPress tools we use to create and manage the blog are free, we do incur a number of charges annually to cover things such as hosting, web address mapping and additional storage for photos and documents. For this reason donations, large or small, from organisations or individuals are always most welcome!

💐Parwich Flower Festival💐
Posted in Church, Events, Flora, Gardens on Tuesday July 22, 2025| Leave a Comment »
Thank you to everyone who came to support us on Sunday. The church was full of flowers and looked incredible! We had lots of visitors, even though the weather could have been a little kinder. Tea and cakes were enjoyed, and the day went very well.
The flowers are in church until Saturday morning of this week.
