[post_content] => Be prepared to get messy at this creative and family-friendly online workshop. We will be making seed bombs with our Local Gardener Jasmine Pasche from Coin Street, Gentle Gardening Group at Beirne Spain Gardens.
Using a combination of compost, wildflower seeds and clay you will create small ‘bombs’ which can be thrown into patches of green space, releasing pockets of seeds which will eventually turn into a micro habitat for bees, moths and other insects – as well as creating a beautiful floral landscape.
Material List
Meadow flower seeds or seeds collected from the garden , or alternatively a few packets of Wildflower seeds from Garden Centre
Peat-free compost
Water
Powdered clay (found in craft shops)
Mixing bowl
Old Washing up gloves or Rubber Garden Gloves

[post_content] => Join our Urban Gardener Georgia as she shows you how to grow your own micro salad leaves and sprouted seeds over the winter. These are easy to grow at home and indoors, so perfect for the winter and make a fun activity to do with family and friends over the holidays. It also means you’ll have a ready supply of fresh salad ingredients as an alternative to all the delicious but rich food we enjoy so much as this time of year.
Kit list:
If you want to follow along with Georgia during this session, you'll need the following equipment, most of which should be easy to find at home, in a supermarket or local health food shop, or your local garden centre. You can follow one or both activities, depending on the time and space you have, or take notes ready to try it out yourself later.
Quick and easy sprouting seeds:
A jar with a lid - similar to a mason jar, or a clean jam or pickle jar
A sieve with fine holes
Muslin or a clean j-cloth
A jug of water
Dried beans or seeds for sprouting, such as mung, adzuki, alfalfa or fenugreek
Indoor salad gardens:
A clean rectangular container - a foil or plastic takeaway container, or a plastic tray from fruit or vegetables (3cm+ deep is best)
Multi-purpose compost - free-draining, or you can add perlite or vermiculite
A sieve with fine holes
A jug of water
An old bowl for mixing your compost and water
Old newspaper
Seeds, such as spinach, kale, broccoli, cress, mustard, rocket, mizuna, or any other green leafy vegetable
Tomato or liquid seaweed feed (optional)
You'll also need some gardening or kitchen gloves, a couple of old spoons, an old cup or glass, and make sure you have a clear, stable surface to work on. It's also a good idea to make sure you have plenty of space between your computer and where you are working.
There'll be a Q&A at the end of the session, which will be optional.
You are welcome to join this event if you live or work in Bankside.

[post_content] => It’s hardly surprising that so many of us struggle to get a good night’s sleep. With blurred boundaries between work and home, the loss of face-to-face connectivity, disruption to our regular healthy routines and fear about the long term economic and psychological impacts of Covid 19, many people are finding a restful night’s sleep out of reach.
There is also the ongoing uncertainty about if and when things will ever get back to normal with the current wave.
Andy Roberts, from www.breathe-london.com , explores the science of sleep and provides practical tips and ideas to help bring our natural sleep patterns back into balance. And he will give links to some great sleep resources.
This is an online event. A zoom link will be sent out nearer to the time.
