About The Event
Join us for a hands-on session where we'll be learning how to take plant cuttings, harvesting delicious food that's ready to pick, and giving the allotment a good tidy-up ready for the winter months. Paul is incredibly experienced in working with children and sharing his knowledge, helping them develop practical skills, confidence and a love for growing their own food. These are valuable skills that can last a lifetime, and there's nothing better than learning outdoors, getting your hands dirty and seeing the rewards of your hard work!
