Details & Booking form

This event is for anyone interested in/involved with therapeutic or community gardens, or green spaces used to improve health, well-being or for community benefit. Gardening initiatives contribute significantly to our health and communities but are often isolated, poorly resourced and under-recognised. The day will provide a chance to exchange tips and share good practice. We’ll also tour the garden & facilities at Silver Birch.Event details
