Garden Tinkering

Community gardening sessions, Mondays, 11am–3pm
For Shedders and the extended Shed community

These relaxed monthly sessions are designed for our Shedders, makers and the wider Shed community. Join us in the garden for unhurried time outdoors with the Cultivate Create team, a chance to potter, chat, share skills and enjoy being together in nature.

Garden Tinkering grew out of our belief that access to green space, connection with nature and time in community are essential for adult wellbeing and social justice.
