Community Gardening Sessions

GROW Scarborough are running community gardening sessions at The Street this autumn and winter, with a new round starting on Thursday 12 November and running through to Thursday 17 December. They're on twice a week — Thursdays and Saturdays, 09:30 to 12:30 — so there are plenty of slots to fit in, whether you're free on a weekday morning or prefer the weekend.

The sessions take place at The Street, at 12 Lower Clark Street, YO12 7PW, which they describe as a beautiful award-winning community space. It's a spot where volunteers pitch in to keep the place tidy and grow food to donate to the community, and you pick up new skills along the way. It's as much about the gardening as it is about connecting with nature and with each other, so if you've been looking for a way to get your hands in the soil and meet some new people, this is a good place to start.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of how much you actually know about gardening. You don't need to bring your own tools or turn up with a plan — refreshments and equipment are provided on site. If you've never grown anything before, you'll be in good company, and if you've got a bit of experience, there's always something to lend a hand with. The sessions run from Thursday 12 November to Thursday 17 December, twice a week on Thursdays and Saturdays from 09:30 to 12:30, and they're free to join.
