This workshop has been postponed. If you would like to be notified of the new date/time please email info@deveron-projects.com.
In a practical, hands-on workshop with resident gardener, Lindy Young, we will be lifting and dividing any plants that have outgrown their space. A great way to benefit from ‘free’ plants which can be used in other parts of the garden or shared with friends.
During the workshop we will be choosing examples from different types of plant, with different root structures and looking at the best methods for propagating them. In this way we hope create a new soft fruit border, extend the ever-popular strawberry bed, and increase our perennial herb and vegetable stock.
Come dressed warmly to enjoy a morning of sociable gardening. Refreshments provided.
About the project:
This workshop forms part of our project Caretakers' Garden. Named after the former residents of the caretaker's flat at the Brander Building (now the Deveron Projects office!), Caretakers' Garden will build sustainable systems of care in the Brander and Square Deal gardens, for the benefit of current and future inhabitants. As a starting point, we are asking, what is our role in caring for these gardens in the present and into uncertain futures? How do we build the means for communities (human and more-than-human) to enjoy the gardens and care for each other in?
Together we will work to create a learning space for novice and seasoned gardeners – a space for exploration, experimentation and exchange. Regular workshops, drop-in sessions and artists' projects will open the gardens up, inviting new 'caretakers' to come along and learn, help take care and be cared for.
