We had an amazing day yesterday at the @jqbid #jqfestival collaborating with @jo_gane1 @suslifeuk @dontgointothecellar and of course the @friendskeyhillwarstonelanecem meeting so many amazing people
We couldn't have done it without everyone's help, including loads of support behind the scenes from @bhamcitycouncil @coffin_works @thehivejq and all the amazing #JQHeritageSquad volunteers.
Now we need to sleep for a week but then we'll be buzzing with ideas for 2023!
We are so excited about all the events happening in Warstone Lane Cemetery tomorrow for #jqfestival 2022
Join us and the @friendskeyhillwarstonelanecem to
1. Visit the friends on their sales and info stall and learn more about their work
2. Make your own beautiful blueprint photos using light sensitive paper and natural objects with @jo_gane1
3. Learn about useful and edible plants on a beginners foraging walk with @suslifeuk
4. Enjoy the exploits of Sherlock Holmes in the Sign of Four by @dontgointothecellar outdoors in the catacombs circle.
Link to tickets in our bio or pay on the day!

Photos of some of the wildlife that call Warstone Lane Cemetery home. Join us and @caringforgodsacre on Saturday from 10am til 1pm for a bioblitz to help us count them all! We'll have experts on hand to help us with identification and fun activities for all the family.
Some of our new nest boxes have residents already! Our Tawny Owl boxes still have vacancies but the smaller boxes have 2 nests in progress, plus 3 families of blue tits and 1 family of great tits! Kevin from @b37project who made the boxes took these photos and will keep us expertly updated!
