We are pleased to offer the holiday activity to local young people who wish to get into nature using and interpreting their knowledge of science, mathematics and biology. Having practiced and stimulated experience is a great way to learn and by the end of this program, learners will be ready to re-engage with school. Spaces are very limited, to give tailored support so please book early.
Reach out if you have any questions. Peace ✌🏾

Following the success of our Summer Solstice festival just gone, we thought that we would ride the momentum and lean into the feedback we received from participants and visitors. Creating and holding diverse cultural community green space for connection, collaboration and creativity is vital. So, let’s give the local community what they’ve asked for by way of horticultural learning, inspiration and healing nutrition to promote personal and group resilience.
Such plans are underway and if you want to be a part of this movement, hit us up. Peace ✌🏾
