You may have heard that cBeebies were filming in Digbeth Community Garden. Their project is airing on cBeebies channel and BBC iplayer starting this week.
It's for 3-6 year-olds, but adults may be interested in the aerial drone footage and the garden looks really lovely in the footage we've seen.

MARCH EVENT: We are very excited to welcome bestselling fantasy author @aychao.com as our guest on Fri 13th March. Come and join us at @inthewarehouse.bsky.social, Birmingham Friends of the Earth, or online via Zoom. Tickets available on the door or via Eventbrite:
