Interested in the natural world and caring for the environment? Want to gain practical skills and deepen your knowledge?
Our hands on sessions at our sustainable food education charity in East Malling, Kent, give you the opportunity to grow, harvest and cook seasonal vegetables, support wildlife and care for our planet, with tutors who have achieved Carbon Literacy certification.
What you will do:
Help maintain the Communigrow garden, learning about seed dispersal, the use of herbs and how to propagate them. Help manage our meadow and create habitats for native species as the days get cooler. Cook up a storm using our sustainably grown veg! Develop skills and gain an award – learners completing the course gain a Communigrow Eco Award certificate and will also work towards the Communigrow Horticultural Skills Awards in areas such as seed planting, tool use and propagation.
This ticket is for a block booking of 6 sessions this term starting on Tuesday 9th September and continuing to 14th October.
Designed to inspire young people to get outside and active with focused activities to engage and inspire them to learn more about the natural world.
