Community Gardening Sessions

GROW Scarborough are running community gardening sessions at The Street twice a week, every Thursday and Saturday from 09:30 to 12:30, starting Saturday 31 October and running through to Thursday 17 December. It's a good stretch of a run, so if you can't make the first few, there are plenty more to pick from over the next couple of months.

The sessions are all about keeping the grounds going and growing food to donate to the community. You'll be working alongside other volunteers, and as you go, you'll pick up new gardening skills while spending a few hours outdoors. It's as much about the people as the plants, too — it's a chance to connect with nature and with other folk in the neighbourhood.

They describe The Street as a beautiful award-winning community space, and that's where the work happens. Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether you've ever touched a trowel in your life, so you don't need any prior experience to get involved. They provide the refreshments and the equipment, so you can just turn up and get stuck in without needing to bring your own kit.

It's free to take part, and the sessions run from 09:30 to 12:30 every Thursday and Saturday, from 31 October to 17 December. You'll find The Street at 12 Lower Clark Street, Scarborough, YO12 7PW.
