Food and drink are a really important part of any gardening session.
At the start, volunteers, participants and staff might like to have a cup of tea or coffee together as people arrive.
During the session, ‘eat what you pick’ can be a way of celebrating the connection between growing and eating, and is a meaningful and rewarding activity for everyone.
The food can also be a focus for coming together after the gardening activities as group members enjoy a meal together.
