Shuffle like a penguin!
Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st Feb, 11:30 – 12:30
We need your help (and your feet) to get our new flower beds ready. Come along and work with our garden team to prepare the beds for seed sowing. We will be shuffling like penguins to remove air from the soil and make the beds as ready as possible for seed to flourish. Learn the steps to take and then try it at home!
Limited spaces available, come along on the day.
