A COMMUNITY picnic will be taking place at Egford Park’s Tiny Forest in Frome on Friday, September 19.

The event was initially scheduled to take place in June bet had to be postponed due to the weather conditions.

It will begin at 3pm and run through to 5.30pm, with attendance being free for all to attend.

Cllr Fiona Barrows said: “Frome’s Tiny Forest is a rich hub for biodiversity, of both plants and animals, and a site that sucks in high levels of carbon. Its transformation since it was planted in 2021 is truly amazing.”

Plants in the Tiny Forest are carefully selected to grow at varying heights, meaning they can pack in many more plants than a space of the same size would normally hold.
