We had Emily from Harvest at Home http://harvestathome.uk/ in this month supporting families we already know who are experiencing food insecurity due to the COVID crisis. She came with Alex from Cherwell community larder who kindly provided transport.
Emily brought the most amazing array of different vegetables and seeds and demonstrated how to make simple vegetable boxes from cardboard boxes and recycled materials. All the ladies have taken home a treasure of seeds and plants to make their own veg boxes at home. We will definitely have you back.
