We love growing!

Just as Ben was filming the final scenes of his short film, we were unexpectedly offered a micro-farm!

Over winter we’ve been dreaming, planning and preparing to honour its potential, and now we’re ready to open the gates.

Come and see our plans to grow food, skills and resilience, and discover how to be part of what comes next.

On the day:
• Guided tour of the sitE
• Nature art & activities
• Food & drinks
• Invitation to volunteer
• Micro-talks, skillshares & demos on no-dig, climate-resilient growing, vegan permaculture, composting basics, biodiversity and more!

Whether you’ve never sown a seed or you’re an experienced grower, you’re welcome!
