    Transition Nottingham’s Great Spring Sowing on Sunday 22nd March is the first festival of its type in the city. We invite you to come to the Arboretum and have hands on experience of sowing seeds, and fire your imagination as to what you can produce in whatever space you can find.

     

    On the day there will be gardening tips from a whole host of experienced gardeners with different methods of growing your lunch so you can find out which way of gardening suits you most. To celebrate Mother’s Day, Nottingham In Bloom will be giving out seeds to all Mums, and to coincide with World Water Day there will be information on rainwater harvesting. There will also be a seed swap and a Grow In What You Throw area to encourage reuse of existing materials.

     

    There will be entertainment for all the family, as well as live music with the bandstand in full swing. So come along, have a sow, have a chat and a lovely cup of tea…….
