Looking to improve your mental wellbeing and enjoy spending time outdoors, getting hands on with nature? Join our fortnightly Planting for Your Piece gardening sessions!

Learn new skills and enjoy the beautiful setting of the gardens with others, whilst exploring the process of growing and creating food from patch to plate!

Sessions are completely free of charge and will run every other week, on Wednesdays from 1:30pm-3:30pm, starting from Wednesday 8th May.

If you could benefit from connecting with nature, learning gardening skills and meeting new people, please sign up for one of our sessions here, or get in touch with Bekki to find out more at bgorgon@standrewsbotanic.org.
