Global Community Saturdays - Sat 13th April 10:30 - 2pm.

This month we are introducing a Children's Growing Club. 🌱🌿🪴
In response to the climate crisis increasingly affecting farmers both in this country and abroad, being able to cultivate the crops we rely on, it is really beneficial for all, but perhaps especially children to learn to how to grow our own food.
Every month for a £1 donation, we will have a veg or fruit plant available for your child to grow, they'll be able to pop in the seed or plant themselves. We will have instructions on how to care for your plant, and a simple recipe to make once you've grown your fruit or veg.
Do pop along each month with your little ones to pick up your new plant to grow. This month we are starting off with tomatoes 🍅 🪴

Alongside we will have our regular Eco stalls with us:
🌿 A Mudlark Finds - jewellery made from mudlarking adventures on the Thames coast by Michelle.
🌿 Wonderful Earth - fairtrade gifts, Gina will have a small range of Palestinian foods from Palestinian fairtrade producer Zaytoun. Come and support the cause.
🌿 Essex Honey - lovely honey from local beekeeper Ann.
🌿 ByLaneyNoo - crochet gifts from Lianne.
🌿Our Refill bar with refill cleaning items.

Do pop along! 🙂🌿
