Join us for 12 monthly workshops on local food, food growing and climate action.

10am – 2.30pm, The Kymin, Beach Road, Penarth (unless otherwise stated).

Bring a packed lunch.

We encourage you to walk, wheel, bike or use public transport to get to the workshop.

You can book on individual workshops through Eventbrite. If you can make a donation, please do. More info when you register.

You will cultivate a range of skills including understanding soil, growing from seed, nurturing plants, managing pests and diseases, companion planting, growing with nature and the seasons, harvesting, seed saving, composting. 

We have 15 places available on each workshop. You can book on them all, or on each separate workshop. See ‘Book Your Place Here’ button above for more details on booking your place.

You’ll will receive a growing pack with a guidance document (how to care for the plants), biodegradable pots, compost and seedlings/plants so you can take them home to grow as the season goes on, sharing your progress with the group in the monthly sessions. We will also plant the same in our community growing spaces, so we can observe and learn together.

We are grateful to have support from The National Lottery Community Fund, ‘Together for Our Planet’ programme to be be able to bring you these workshops. 

We are keen for people who take part to acknowledge the value of the workshops and the learning and experience we offer. 

We ask for you to make a small contribution to the costs involved in running the workshops, by way of a donation. This is entirely voluntary. We are able to offer free places to those for whom a cost would be a barrier.

Your donations will help us grow our community gardening projects at West House and The Kymin and support a good livelihood for our Project Coordinator, whilst also contributing to us sustaining the project beyond the period of our funding.
