Overview: Join us at the next Community & Climate Cafe to unearth the reasons that inspire people to grow food. From the simple joy of sowing a seed on a windowsill, in a garden, an allotment or a community growing space, we’ll explore the power of '“WHY” how stories can cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves, connection to nature and our communities. This sessions is for anyone interested in our relationship to growing food, community, and creativity to cultivate a more resilient future. Join Victoria (Vix) for this interactive session - a passionate food grower who wanted to grow her own pasta sauce, and a creative practitioner interested in inspiring others through stories and lived experience with a Chilterns-based exhibition in the works.
