About the event
A variety of things to see and do! Drop in any time or stay for the whole event. All welcome, all free.
12pm Film showing SEED: The Untold Story - following passionate seed-keepers who protect our 12,000 year-old food legacy.
2pm Green Space Grows - If you would like to be involved in our new community growing project, please come and find out about our latest developments. We are thrilled about this new project and there is scope for everyone to get involved regardless of experience and ability.
We believe a community seed bank should be at the heart of every community, to encourage the growing of local food and create a strong network of local growers. Everyone should have access to locally grown, nutrient rich food that doesn't cost the earth. Not only does this benefit the well-being of everyone in our community, but it helps to create a diverse environment and a well-balanced eco-system. We are fortunate to live in a beautiful part of the world and whatever we can do to support our native flora and fauna is a big commitment of our group.
Bring your spare seeds and plants! We are grateful for anything you can donate, and we are particularly keen to promote organic open pollinated seed.
We also see this event as a social gathering, we'll have a generous supply of tea and cake and plenty of opportunities for garden-related chat whether you are new to growing and need advice, are a seasoned gardener with wisdom to share or you just want to come and lament on weather conditions, slug control or your favourite crops to grow!
