Community Courses
Bedford House Gardeners
THURSDAYS (every first Thursday of each month)
Gardening Sessions take place in the front and rear garden at Bedford House.
If you have gardening experience, we hope you will share it with the other participants, but you do not need experience to join the Gardening sessions
Gardening is a great opportunity for gentle physical exercise, socialising, learning basic gardening skills, or sharing gardening skills, and reconnecting with nature, self and others.
Gardening sessions are 2 hours long (you can leave any time). The session runs between 10:00 and 12:00.
1st Thursday of the month
Sessions are free
If you are interested, please contact the Administration Office on 020 8504 6668 to express your interest and to check the next session is taking place.
