Southend-on-Sea in Transition

Originally uploaded by Transition Town Westcliff

A chance to develop your gardening skills and learn the arts of organic food production thanks to the efforts of South East Essex Organic Gardeners. Press release below;

We are delighted to announce that we have secured a grant to support a series of seminars on organic gardening around the Southend-on-Sea, Rochford, Castle Point and Basildon area in conjunction with Robert Wiseman, local horticultural lecturer, judge and exhibitor.

These seminars will start in early 2009 and continue on a regular basis both in the evenings and weekends until 2011. They are designed to encourage the “growing of your own food” both on an allotment, in your own garden and even on the patio using the principles of organic gardening. The project has been funded by Grassroots Grants from the Office of the Third Sector, which is managed by Essex Community Foundation.

The £5.00 fee is for each seminar, which will be approximately 3-31⁄2 hours, either an evening 7-10pm or Saturday 1-4:30.

For more information, please contact Carole Shorney caroleshorney@hotmail.com or Robert Wiseman
robert.wiseman@talk21.com, or telephone 07941 078135.
