Join us to grow food, skills, and friendships at our Arbury Growing Cafe! 🌱☕

Every other Thursday from 12-3pm the Akeman Community Centre is home to a drop-in Growing Cafe run in partnership between Earth & Mind and Cambridge Sustainable Food. Anyone is welcome to come along and join in with gardening activities under the guidance of an experienced facilitator, or just relax and enjoy some free refreshments and company in the growing space.

Each week of the cafe will focus on a different aspect of gardening, with a mix of educational and hands-on sessions covering everything from planting and seed sowing to setting up a compost system!

We’ll also have lots of gardening books and nature journals for quiet reflection and learning, as well as seed swaps so you can grow your own at home. Free hot drinks, food, and cake will be provided.

Everyone is welcome, no booking required.
