Patch: Planting workshops at NOMA

Patch is a neighbourhood kitchen garden where you can get involved in growing, nurturing and making things for free.

Organised in collaboration with Manchester Urban Diggers, this is a six week series of free to attend activities which cover skills such as preparing ground for planting to composting for beginners. See the Patch NOMA website.

The first series of workshops will cover everything from preparing the ground and learning about the basics of composting, to planting vegetables which will be ready to harvest in winter.
