Food & Gardening Workshops During the spring and summer we focus in the garden to help improve gardening skills and in the colder months, we move indoors for workshops on healthy cooking, and other topics. Benefits of food related workshops - increased personal capacity, knowledge and skill, regarding access to alternate food sources
