Have you signed up to our Garden Waste Scheme for 2025/26 yet?
You should receive your sticker around 10 days after signing up and this should be displayed on your green bin from 1st April.
If you haven’t received your sticker by 1st April, crews have been advised to check on their system whether residents have signed up and collect bins that are presented where the resident has a subscription even if there is no sticker.

The last remaining annuals will be on sale for the next fortnight. Come and save them from their fate in the compost bin! To date you have helped PDHS raise over £200 which in turn will be used to support other groups and societies in the village.

A lovely sunny summer’s afternoon saw another very successful Parwich Open Gardens. Our many visitors, who’d travelled from near and far were full of compliments for the gardens and the warm welcome they received. Thank you so much to everyone in helping to make this such a special day in the village calendar which once again has raised several thousand pounds that we shall be able to share among other Parwich clubs and organisations.
Many thanks too to John L for his fantastic photos that have captured the day perfectly.

More apples …
The apples on my apple tree ripen a bit later than others and I now have plenty. They are better as cookers but not bad as an eating apple either. I have put a box at the bottom of the drive. Please help yourself. Bring your own bags.
