About the event
Join us for gentle, drop-in gardening and wellbeing session in a calm, friendly outdoor space. Enjoy simple growing activities, creative nature crafts, chances to learn new skills and relaxed conversation — all inspired by the long tradition of allotments in mining communities.
Who it’s for:
The session is suited for adults, especially if you’d benefit from a relaxed, inclusive and accessible environment. No gardening experience needed — join in as much or as little as feels comfortable.
When?
Last Thursday of the month, 1–3pm
No need to book — just drop in. We can help with travel costs, just get in touch.
