Growing Local – Summer Celebration Day 30th July

Herefordshire Green Network members are warmly invited to visit The Southside Farm on Wednesday 30th July at 6.30 pm to learn about Growing Local’s exciting new project.

Join us for a walking tour of the farm, meet the growers, see our veg box growing areas and polytunnels, children’s garden, outdoor kitchen, and farm shop. We’ll also share our plans for our future cook studio and indoor classroom, and talk about how the site has developed since autumn 2023.

Members can find out how they can get involved in our community project—whether through volunteering, buying our veg, telling schools about us or coming along to our community events.

E-mail admin@hgnetwork.org to book your place. Attendance are free – it’s just so we know how many will be joining us..

Here’s how to find Growing Local If driving please arrive in the car park by 6.15pm and we can walk over to the farm together. Please email louisa@growinglocal.org.uk if you require accessible parking nearby and she can offer an alternative way to access us.
