Join us at Paradise Allotments where we meet to spend time outdoors at our social prescribing allotment plot. Ideal for nature and outdoor lovers. We meet and take part in doing tasks around the allotment such as planting, harvesting, weeding, digging, trimming.
There is no pressure to do lots of tasks, why not come and socialise instead? We have some seating around our garden table and always have hot drinks available.
We are running an amended timetable over winter with a mixture of allotment-esque craft sessions, sometimes meeting at the plot and for a cuppa.
Please contact either Sophie or Laura prior to attending a session.
