Gather & Grow Gardening Sessions
Would you like to meet some lovely people and learn new skills? Join us as a group of like-minded people to plant, weed, sow and sip tea in the fresh air to help us feel good.
We run regular Gather & Grow gardening sessions for all women and non-binary people to attend. If you fancy popping along every so often, for a bit of planting, tea drinking and lovely company, these days are for you.
We do lots of different activities at these sessions, some of these include; digging, weeding, and sowing seeds. No previous gardening experience is needed- just come along and have a go!
Weekly get-togethers for fun, friendship & feeling good.
