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!

Local artist’s colourful sketch of the historic Moseley Dovecote, with the brick building partly hidden by lush greenery, flowers and overhanging branches in a loose, expressive style on a white canvas.

Looking forward to seeing many of you tomorrow, Saturday 25th July. Do stop by and chat with members of the Moseley Society to find out more about our work, local history, heritage projects and community activities. New faces are always welcome! 🌿

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.

🌿 Moseley in Bloom’s next plant sale is at the Dovecote on Sunday 19 July, 2–4pm. The garden may be looking a little parched after the dry weather, but the lavender and other flowers are still buzzing with bees and butterflies. Come along, pick up some plants, and enjoy the garden! 🐝🦋🌸

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.

Very thankful for the mature tree canopy helping keep us cooler in Moseley Village today. 🥵😎 🌳 Huge shout out to Moseley in Bloom and local builder Maison House for fitting water butts to some of the businesses so we can water the planting under the trees.
