Come and join a small but friendly, weekly gardening group.
Come and join a small but friendly, weekly gardening group based on the amazing Pennington Community Garden site (Woodhouse). We meet at the Woodhouse Community Centre to collect tools and then make our way up to the garden (5 mins walk).
Come weekly or drop in when you can (the more often the better but no pressure).
Grow your own veg and flowers, gain and share skills, learn about gardening and meet new people in a relaxed setting, improve your health and wellbeing whilst improving the local environment.
No gardening experience needed! We mainly garden but also head out for nature walks, have a go at a range of crafts, eat the things we grow (often cooking outdoors) and plan trips and events too.
The group is part of the wider Outdoors Active and Well project, a network of groups across Leeds who are all transforming green spaces whilst supporting one another as part of a friendly group.
