Exploring Natural Colours block mentored by Growing Local CIC

A summary

Join us for a colourful day of creativity and nature exploration! In this hands-on workshop, we’ll dive into the vibrant world of natural colours—pounding flowers and leaves with mallets to create stunning prints, hunting for hues in the garden to make a colour match collage, and even making our own natural paints to experiment with. We’ll harvest fresh produce from the garden to prepare and enjoy a delicious DIY lunch together in our outdoor kitchen. The day will finish with stories and fun garden games—a perfect mix of art, food, and outdoor adventure!

About your mentor

Growing Local CIC

GROW, COOK, EAT healthy & local Hereford food

Growing Local is a community interest company that encourages and educates communities to grow, cook and eat local food. In the summer of 2023 Growing Local took over a new 19-acre agricultural site, The Southside Farm, on the southern edge of Hereford to establish a veg box scheme, a children’s educational garden and heritage orchards. We work with schools and communities delivering educational programmes and events in sustainable food growing, nature, crafting, cooking and more.

How to Find Us

If WALKING/CYCLING we are at the end of the Great Western Way foot/cycle path - after the Belmont Wanderer's football fields - look out for our polytunnels! IF DRIVING we will meet you in the Belmont Wanderers football club car park at 9.50am and walk over together. The car park is at the end of Vernon Williams Close in Newton Farm, HR2 7BF.

Cancellation Policy

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
