Britain's What's On Event Guide
Free Gardening Workshops: Livingston
Dobbies, the UKs leading garden centre retailer, is celebrating National Allotment Week (12-18 August) by inviting gardening enthusiasts across the country to a series of free Grow How workshops throughout the month, focusing on allotment gardening. The sessions are designed for both seasoned allotment pros and those just starting out, gaining valuable skills and knowledge to make plots flourish, taking place on the first Saturday of the month, then every Wednesday throughout August at 10.30am and 3.30pm. Dobbies Grow How sessions will equip gardeners on the best late-summer crops to sow in August for a flourishing harvest later in the season, how to prune your summer fruits to maximise its yield and ways you can ready the allotment for any upcoming holidays with watering techniques. For the month of August, guests attending Grow How sessions will have the chance to donate to the Stroke Association, to mark National Allotment Week. Dobbies has supported Stroke Association for several years. Gardening is known to have a positive impact on both the physical and emotional recovery of stroke survivors and the charity supports several groups with allotments across the UK. Dobbies is also a sponsor of the Stroke Associations Strength in Bloom virtual garden, where visitors are invited to donate by planting symbolic flowers and trees, or selecting a plaque to dedicate to an individual affected by stroke.
