Growing Communities - local food and social justice

This event will involve a day of workshops and discussions, followed by a social evening of films, food and music and will take place on Thursday 20 June from 2pm.

This is a chance to meet others working in community food and social justice movements in Glasgow and to help shape stronger responses to the current welfare reforms.

One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes, four!

Glasgow Local Food Network will be hosting their annual seed swap as part of Glasgow Allotments Forum Potato day at the Pearce Institute on Sunday 24 February

Bring along your saved seed or any surplus packets from last year and pick up some tasty new seeds for this year, including some heritage varieties, and get your hand's on this year’s seed potatoes!
