Autumn Gardening Club

The most exciting part of the year is here!
Harvest season of nourishment, eat well, live well, feel better. Prepare for the colder winter months by feasting on the fruits of your labour!

So far our plans for September and October look like this but of course that depends on what Mother Nature has in mind. Rain or shine we will meet every Saturday until the end of October.

Exciting New Sessions planned for AUG, SEPT and OCT
