Description
Join us in the Community Garden at Glenside Campus!

In this session we will be doing a variety of activities including weeding, planting and pruning. Come along, meet some other students and have a cup of tea – free tea and biscuits will be provided.
This event is free to attend and open to all UWE Bristol students and staff.
