Join us for an action-packed evening looking at how to grow your own mixed salad. No need for supermarkets, chemicals or plastic bags, and at a fraction of the cost! Starting at the Green Heart Collective, we will go on a short walk around central Gateshead. We will be looking at plants growing wild and their edible uses, and how we can work with them in our own spaces to grow and gather food for free. We will return to learn more about how our salad is grown, and how we can take back control, starting by growing our own salad, on a windowsill, balcony, back yard or garden. You will get the chance to pot on your own easy to grow salad plants to take home, and learn how to take care of them. This is a donation based event, with the opportunity to purchase food provided by Green Heart. Open to anyone 13+ (but under 16s would need to be accompanied by an adult). No prior experience is needed.
