6 week Community Gardening Workshop
Springhill are teaming up with The Conservation Volunteers to offer a 6 week Community Gardening Workshop in conjunction with the TCV’s Green Gym Project.
The weekly sessions will provide some gentle gardening activity which contributes to the health of the participants, the garden at Springhill and strengthens connections between the people and the place. From plant propagation to composting, sowing vegetables, dividing perennials, and all sorts of gardening shenanigans, the sessions will be informative and diverse to make sure there is something for everyone. Of course, there will be a bit of work to do as we get the old drying yard back into shape as a growing space and there will be plenty of opportunity to get your hands dirty!
In the true spirit of community gardening, everyone is welcome to come along and join in, whatever your age, experience or background, although children should remember to bring an adult with them!
6 week programme dates:
Starts 24 Feb / Ends 30 March
Saturday Mornings for 6 weeks: 10.30am – 12.30pm
Venue: Drying Yard at Springhill
What will it Involve?
A mixture of facilitator-led, garden themed learning and doing to inspire people, working together to bring the gardens to life and make connections between people and place. Plant propagation, vegetable sowing, restoration of the greenhouse and plant nursery.
