Please join us for this incredible workshop exploring the radical histories of gardens within the city!
This unique two-part workshop will begin by exploring the crucial role played by green spaces in London: as a site for fostering community resistance to gentrification and social cleansing, and emphasising the demands of right to grow and climate justice movements. 🍁🌱
You'll also have the opportunity to develop your practical gardening and planting experience, through seed sowings and demonstrations, and rethink traditional approaches to gardening. Through this workshop, you'll also have the opportunity to contribute to the SET Woolwich garden to provide food, flowers, forage and shelter, for the wider SET Woolwich community and local wildlife. 🍃🌳
This session will be led by Jack Jeans from Walworth Garden. He lives in South London and is hugely inspired by the histories of ‘radical’ and grassroots gardeners, this informs and inspires Jack's daily practice as a horticulture tutor, community gardener and food grower in London. 🐞🌿
