DETAILS:
Petrus Incredible Edible Rochdale Project (PIER) will be hosting their first seed sharing event at their community allotment and garden on Belfield Road.
Many people have unwanted seeds stashed away in cupboards that could be used by others and we would like to encourage people to bring them along to swap for other seeds that they may need. For those who have no seeds to swap they will still be able to join in. Simply ‘pay as you feel’ by making a small donation.
We are also encouraging people to bring any spare plants that they could share and for growing groups to come along and promote their upcoming activities across the borough.
We hope that the seed sharing event will provide the opportunity to allow anybody to get involved whether it’s in their own garden or accessing information about volunteering in the community, bringing likeminded people together.
The idea behind the event is to help individuals, groups, schools and organisations to get together and share resources in order to get Rochdale growing.
PIER is looking forward to the coming year and would love to help people across the borough get behind Rochdale and support the countless volunteers who dedicate their time and skills to help make Rochdale a more beautiful place to live.
This year is a particularly exciting year for Rochdale as it has been shortlisted as a finalist for the Royal Horticultural Societies Britain In Bloom Competition.
The project run by homelessness charity Petrus Community has been busy over the last two years transforming a derelict piece of wasteland into an accessible outdoor space for the whole community.
The event is 1.00pm-3.00pm on Tuesday 20 March, at the Petrus Incredible Medical Allotment, (Next door to the Croft Shifa Health Centre), Belfield Road, OL162UP.
