Let's get growing - gardeners' coffee time
April 9, 11am
Glen Lyon Roastery, Aberfeldy
As our Winter Boost is coming to an end, so Healthiest Town is springing into action for our next series of events… starting with our Let’s Get Growing initiative.
Details of the full campaign will be launched very soon, but as a sneak preview we are inviting you to the second of our monthly Gardeners’ Coffee Time sessions on the second Wednesday of the month.
​
Come along to meet others interested in productive gardening, share plans and ideas and help to grow this network. We’ll be meeting monthly, getting out and about, sharing plans, plants and produce as the year progresses. You will also find out about our GrowAlong initiative - for people who would you like to grow vegetables but don’t quite know where or how to get started.
Join one of our Aberfeldy GrowAlong groups, and you’ll be guided and supported through the mysterious world of patio potatoes, purple peas, courtyard courgettes, and colourful chard. You can provide your own seeds/materials or be provided with anything you need…more details on this coming soon.
No need to book the Gardeners' Coffee Time, just turn up and meet others interested in productive gardening.
