Wild Cooking x Forest Garden Care! 🙌

Yesterday in the forest garden our volunteers built structural support for our wine + loganberries and extended our ‘dead hedge’, creating important habitats for insects and small mammals.

Then soup + bread cooked over a fire of course.😊

Upcyling + carpentry session 😍! This morning, our team of volunteers transformed disused wooden pallets into new compost bays for our forest garden.

This'll help us to recycle more green waste from campus into nutrient-rich fertilizer for our growing beds. No waste here! 😁

Look at all this lovely seasonal produce you can be eating this time of year in super satisfying and soul-warming meals!

First harvest of the year alert!

Growhampton's officially out of winter hibernation and on this cold winter morning, our volunteer harvest team gathered some pak choi, broccoli rabe (rapini) and parsley.

All of which is for sale and can be found at @The_Hive_Cafe 🥬🥬🥬

Times are hard for everyone, and this January feels bleaker than usual. But fear not! You can beat #BlueMonday by #EnrichingCommunities. Whether you volunteer with us or attend our Canteens, you can improve your mood by socialising, doing something good and getting a hot meal.

Urban spuds!!

So happy to see that you got a harvest! The student volunteers had a lovely time planting and painting the garden.

Thank you @RoehamptonUni for planting these potatoes earlier in the year. 🥔

It was great to see how they’ve grown !

Have you been to the heritage-listed orchard located on Froebel Campus?

It's a magical space just a stone's throw from the university library. A peaceful oasis for students, staff, and the animals who visit.
