Spend an active hands-on half or full day in one of our organic school urban farms, working as a team to help keep our learning and engagement spaces in safe, tip top growing and working order. Garden tasks can be tailored to your group, and include low-impact and accessible activities. Other essential tasks usually involve clearing, organizing, sowing, harvesting, weeding, digging, raking and planting. Ideal for larger groups, lunch is optional.
