The Triangle Garden is a community garden within a local park where people of all ages and abilities can come together and take part in creative land-based activities, such as growing food and flowers, tending plants, creating wildlife habitats, making permanent garden features and learning about biodiversity. We run community gardening and forest school activities open to all, once a month on weekends, and community events, workshops, walks and talks throughout the year. Book via www.trianglegarden.org/events Our Friday Garden Club actively nurtures the Triangle Garden and we welcome new volunteers. Our green care projects Growing Ability and New Shoots provide social therapeutic horticulture activities, and healthy living support for our 'gardeners' with learning disabilities and/or mental health needs during the week. This includes food growing, horticulture training, arts and crafts, nature conservation, work experience and peer support, leading to increased wellbeing, confidence and independence.

Come and celebrate the great British apple in support of the Triangle Community Garden! A wonderful mix of apple-related food, drink, craft and information stalls, covering apples and apple juice, plants, honey and pollinators, wildlife and nature, community gardens, local food in season, sustainability and fun stuff for kids. It’s all connected!

Look out for a variety of locally-grown English apples from Cam Valley Orchards plus our very own delicious Triangle Garden Apple Juice. We’ll also be selling cards, herbs, flowers and a selection of gorgeous house plants that we’ve grown on in our polytunnel.

Also present with apple-related goodies to tempt you, will be stalls like Zuckermaus Bakery, Brocklebys Pies, The Indian Orchard (chutneys etc), Dopa Delights and Buzzworks. Plus Wymondley Community Garden, Great Wymondley Orchard and Hitchin’s Secret Orchard with Hertfordshire Orchard Initiative’s working apple press to juice your apples! Bring some apples and a clean container and see how it all works!

We also have environmental stalls showcasing the brilliant nature awareness and protection work of Hitchin Nature Network, The Wildlife Trusts, RSPB, Friends of The Earth, N&EHerts Community Resilience and Take the Jump, and to help you travel in a more nature-friendly way – free bike servicing from Hitchin’s very own Dr Bike!

As always the event will be raising funds for our nature connection work with disadvantaged groups. See on 17th!

Are you a man who wants to learn to cook in the company of other men?

Man Made Meals is a project for men, that’s designed to teach cooking skills, reduce social isolation and improve mental wellbeing.

Aimed at building confidence in the kitchen for men, Man Made Meals takes the form of a 6-week beginners cookery course.

Participants will:

- learn basic cooking skills,
- cook their own dishes (in pairs)
- learn about everyday nutrition, shopping, food hygeine and budgeting
- eat a meal together at each session and take another home
- meet new people and get to know them

Each session will be run by two volunteer tutors (from a pool of three). John, Mike and Elaine are all experienced home cooks who enjoy cooking for themselves, for friends and for larger gatherings. None are professional chefs but they all share a passion for making and sharing good food.

We want participants to discover enjoyment and confidence in making healthy food for themselves and others, in a financially sustainable way.

When – Friday mornings – 10.30am-1.15pm
Where – Ransoms Pavilion, Alexandra Road Hitchin SG5 1RB (carpark on Nightingale Rd)
Who – the course is open to all men, but priority will be given to men who are carers or live alone or are otherwise in need.

How much: the course costs £40 for all six sessions (£30 for those on low incomes) or if you’d like to include a donation towards the course in your fee, there’s a ‘Pay it Forward’ rate.

Affordability: to make it easier to afford we’re asking for a 50% deposit on booking, and the balance in cash on attendance.

We hope that Man Made Meals will build a community of men who are able to support each other. In addition to learning to cook we want to provide opportunities for men to eat together, make new friends, build confidence and improve their wellbeing.
