Tuesdays

We currently have places available on our courses for people aged 16+ on Tuesdays. We run short courses for 8 weeks either 10am-12pm or 1pm-3pm covering a wide range of activities, many of which you can choose yourself!

Activities include learning how to use tools and equipment safely, building things like compost bins and bird boxes, learning how to grow fruit and vegetables in the ground and how to grow them in tubs and pots. There are all sorts of things you can learn on the site which has polytunnels and an indoor area with heating and lighting and there are toilet facilities on site too.
