Green Sherborne For local people concerned about the environment, and a website for organisations that support them. Ecology, sustainability and community are the key. Our goal is to become an online resource to publicise news and events, projects and groups, and provide a source of reference. Welcome to Sherborne Green.

 Raspberries are a great productive fruit Dig Up Sherborne meets again, but this time at the Butterfly House in Castle Gardens, on Tue 14 June 2011 7:00pm. Steve Fry hoped last time to show us some of the larger productive plants available, but due to the impracticality of lugging whole trees to the Zest Café in the back of his car this has had to wait to this month’s talk. Do come and find out more about the sorts of plants you can plant in your garden that are both productive and beautiful. For regular attendees, please note the change of time and venue.
Dig Up Sherborne is a 2011 Transition Sherborne project encouraging residents of the town and surrounding area to quite literally dig up Sherborne! It is aimed at beginners with little or no experience of gardening, and local experts will share their knowledge on all aspects of growing fruit and vegetables.

A Transition Sturminster Newton Event…
Sat 11 June 10:30am-4:00pm
Our neighbours at Transition Sturminster Newton are lending a hand at the Anonymous Travelling Market at Gold Hill Organic Farm in Child Okeford. The Farm nestles below Hambledon Hill and is a mecca for people who wish to spend time closer to the countryside with the added bonus of being able to buy the freshest and best vegetables in the area.
The combination of the market and the farm provides a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time with Family and Friends in an atmosphere of fun and happiness.
Great stalls full of local food, art, crafts and ideas.
Plus at no charge:
- Special Farm walks at 12.00 and 2.00pm
- Trailer Rides for children to the Farm’s Woodland area at 2.30pm
- Foraging walks on the farm
- Bee Walks with Jon Colman who is leading the local Transition Towns Bee Appeal Project

Our neighbours at Transition Dorchester are showing Gaia, the Cabaret, described as the most fun you can have with science. Peter Horton covers 14 billion years in the space of an hour and a half, and shows us that we humans take ourselves far too seriously: as far as Gaia is concerned, the bacteria are far more important than we are, and they are the ones having the last laugh!
Originally commissioned for James Lovelock’s 90th birthday party in July 2009, Gaia – the Cabaret! has since been performed in Norwich, Purbeck, Plymouth, Exeter, Bath, Bristol, Cheltenham and the Science Museum in London.
The cabaret is an interactive celebration of the scientific world view of Gaia Theory. With songs, sketches and surprises, it takes an entertaining and provocative look at how the dynamic systems of planet Earth work and evolve, and where we as a species really fit in.

Very much an antidote to The Age of Stupid shown in March, InTransition1.0 is a detailed film about the Transition Movement, filmed by those people around the world who have started rebuilding their local economies and communities with creativity, imagination and humour. It is positive, solutions focused, viral and fun. The 50-minute film will be followed by an open forum to share ideas on how the Transition Movement can benefit Sherborne and the surrounding area.
InTransition1.0 will be shown on Wednesday 13th April at Cheap Street Church Hall, Sherborne DT9 3BJ. Doors open at 7:15pm and the film will start at 7:30pm. Entry is £3, with concessions available.
