Beaulieu is a vibrant new development in Chelmsford bringing together inspiring architecture and landscaping. A wide variety of green open spaces have already been and are being created, ranging from formal parks such as The Great Park, The Heath and the linear park The Chase, along with a number of pocket parks, community gardens and attractive street planting. It is also home to New Hall School, which was formerly King Henry VIII’s Tudor palace, and its estate parkland .


Courses and activities we hope to deliver at this location include:

Wildlife Gardening

We are hoping to run a Wildlife Gardening course which will help you to adopt wildlife friendly methods of cultivating and growing, and also encourgage involvement in our community garden. Dates are still to be confirmed.

Wildlife Identification

Come along to our site to learn how to identify our flourishing wildlife, from plants and trees, to insects living on land and in water. We will use keys and other techniques to help us explore the natural world all around us.

Yesterday I passed my L1 which I thought would probably be the end of my journey, however the fellowship that I discovered along the way has drawn me into DSW and I can now understand why it had such a influence on my mother's life. I will be joining the Cheshire branch (if they will have me!) and my journey of discovery will continue. I sincerely hope our paths will cross again, or, should I say "our walls meet"
