Grow it, Don't Throw it Workshop

Grow plants for free from pips and peelings!  

JAM MAKING WORKSHOP WITH LOCAL FRUITS

Who would have thought a jam making workshop would be such fun!  We had 15 people, 6 flavours of jam and 3 hobs all on the go at the same time.  Many of the participants had never made jam so we talked about mixing the fruit and the sugar and the role that pectin plays in setting the jam.  Blackcurrants and gooseberries were ready to harvest in the garden and they are high in pectin so they featured in most of the jams.   There are some recipes and more information here.

Wood Carving Workshop- make a Mushroom

We are so lucky in Dundee to be surrounded by copious, healthy woodland.  We wanted to learn a bit more about using wood so the wonderful Kiri Stone, Woodswoman, came along to deliver a workshop using local Birch wood.  We were shown how to make a beautiful and unique mushroom. 

Growing Veg in Containers- Workshop

So many of us have very little garden space we thought it would be a great idea to look at how to grow successfully in pots.
