Clients and volunteers from Freshwinds enjoyed a fantastic sunny morning at Martineau Gardens to learn all about seed growing with Local Food Global Food.

They took a tour of the garden, sampling a few herbs and vegetables on the way round, and enjoyed learning about the variety of plants and wildlife. They also took part in a hands-on food growing workshop where they had a go at sowing seeds and replanting cuttings.

Everyone who attended had a brilliant time and found the sessions really interesting and educational.

The session was part of the ‘Local Food Global Food’ project which is aimed at exploring ways to engage the wider community with the local food growing sector.

Martineau Gardens is a beautiful community garden and a charity, located two miles from Birmingham City Centre. An oasis for wildlife, a haven of tranquility or simply a great destination for an outdoor adventure, there are two and a half acres of organically managed landscape to explore.
