Many thanks to Andrew Turnbull for taking photos and videos at the first gardening workshop. A selection of photos are below. Please click on each photo for a bigger version.

On a beautiful spring morning, several members, volunteers and staff gathered at the Greener and Cleaner Allotment in Bromley for a gardening workshop.

Efi, a member of staff at Greener and Cleaner ran the event. She was very informative and infinitely patient as she seamlessly dealt with our questions and various levels of prior knowledge.

We all learnt a lot about different types of soil that you can get from the garden centre and how to re pot plants. Everyone had smiles on their faces as they planted their pots.  It was a lot of fun, as is shown in the wonderful photographs taken by our volunteer photographer Andrew, and there was lots of excited chatter.

We all then enjoyed some refreshments with an Easter theme before heading home clutching our pots.

Another bright sunny day saw more of our members and volunteers taking part in a gardening workshop facilitated by Greener and Cleaner at the Southlands Road Allotments.

This week, we planted herbs, we learnt about taking cuttings and we all went home with some sage and basil to grow at home.
