What do plants need to grow, and how can you nurture your own?
In this practical outdoor workshop, led by gardener Catherine Graham, learn about what is required for plants to survive and thrive. We will look at how existing plants can be used to grow new ones.

All activities will take social distancing and Covid-safe practices into account.
