About this Event
Come and grow with us at Green Roots — a free, friendly community gardening group at Bordesley Green Allotments, open to everyone.
This is a warm, welcoming space to get outdoors, grow food, meet people and enjoy some gentle activity together. Whether you want to feel a little brighter, make new friends, or simply spend time in nature, you'll find a friendly bunch and an open invitation to join in. No experience needed and no green fingers required — just come as you are.
What it gives you:
- Time outdoors, fresh air and gentle activity at your own pace
- A friendly, supportive community and new friendships
