Summer of Play: Plant a seed
Green fingers at the ready! Join us in the Kitchen Garden potting shed on Saturdays in the summer holidays for planting sessions.

On Saturdays, meet our volunteers in the Kitchen Garden potting shed. Decorate your eco pot and choose a summer seed to plant and take home with you.
