Will Griffiths Court<br />
The green-fingered residents of Will<br />
Griffiths Court have been putting their<br />
talents to good use by planting, potting<br />
and growing in their communal garden.<br />
They were provided with an array of flowers<br />
and hanging baskets to brighten up the outdoor<br />
spaces, along with a variety of herbs. With a herb garden now created, meal times<br />
have been made much tastier as they can add their produce into recipes.<br />
Herbs are easy to grow in your garden, yard, on a balcony or your window sill as<br />
they take very little care. Give it a go and see how simple it is to make your meals<br />
more delicious.<br />
Self care with food & herbs<br />
If you want to learn more about the benefit different food types can have then<br />
this workshop includes discussions, practical remedy making, handouts and<br />
freebies. Your health and diet will be assessed to help you make positive<br />
changes and healthier food choices for you and your family. The cost is £15<br />
unemployed* and £45 employed. Contact Jane Placca on 07944 916 196 or<br />

Pick your own<br />
‘Pick your own’ is the order of the day<br />
at MMU’s Birley Campus in Hulme<br />
where an abundance of culinary herbs<br />
are being grown for the benefit of the<br />
community.<br />
The Sensory Garden at the edible campus<br />
is encouraging people to learn about and<br />
enjoy what’s being grown in their homecooked<br />
meals. The ‘How to Harvest’<br />
guidelines are available by each planter to<br />
ensure herb plants remain healthy for the<br />
future.<br />
If you are a community member and would<br />
like to harvest some of the herbs at Birley,<br />
send an email to bigimpact@mmu.ac.uk.<br />
How does your<br />
garden grow?<br />
School children from Wright Robinson<br />
Sports College have been brushing up<br />
their gardening knowledge during their<br />
Volunteering and Growing Project.<br />
Mainly based at Bickerdike Court in<br />
Longsight, their educational visits have<br />
included Hulme Community Garden Project<br />
and Incredible Edibles in Salford, where<br />
students worked alongside the experts to<br />
pick up the tricks of the trade.
