Grow your own food workshop

6 October 2009
/ 11:02AM - 11:02AM.
@ Hulme Community Garden Centre
Free

This is a free family open-day event teaching adults and children how to grow their own food and learn new horticultural skills while promoting healthier lifestyles and celebrating seasonal food. This funding will enable us to expand the scope of the event and provide additional workshop and learning opportunities.

There will be several workshops throughout the day for visitors on how to grow fruit and vegetables, framed as a family and community activity and visitors will be able to take away plants to grow at home. All activities will be aimed at people having fun while gaining an understanding of growing food, the physical and mental wellbeing promoted by horticultural activity and the benefits of a healthy diet.

The event also gives families the opportunity to learn about the wider range of informal and formal training and education activities on offer at the Centre. It is also a platform to publicise the volunteering, training and work placement roles that the Centre offers as a pathway to work.

As well as the workshops, expert staff will be on hand offering advice and guidance to people and their organisations on how to ‘green’ their own community spaces.
