Activities for children, led by Lauren. Include seed planting, food growing games, meet the worms, nature games and crafts.

11am - 3pm - in the garden

Tour of the garden and compost systems - if you are interested in finding out how we process all the food waste that comes from a busy cafe and climbing centre, or have questions about your composting set up at home, Sean will tell you all you need to know.

Plus he'll be discussing organic fertilizers and making compost tea.
