We'll also have time for a cup of tea, a sweet treat, and a wee chatter in the community pantry. Everyone is welcome! Hope to see you there!

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. 

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.  

We had a brilliant afternoon in the Garden looking at how to grow some of our more common herbs and the types of conditions they like.   We had grown some young herb plants and everyone was able to choose their favourites and plant up a container with herbs to take home. 

Ever tasted Dandelion coffee?  It's not as bad as it sounds, it is surprisingly delicious!  Save money and boost your health with some tasty root herb preparations.
