About this Event
Join us for Shaping tomorrow together - Phase 2 - Food and Growing
Join us for a rich and nourishing evening all about food and growing at Parkfield. It will be a chance to explore our relationship with food, from soil to plate, and reimagine how we grow, gather, and share together.
This session is part of our ongoing journey to co-create a permaculture plan for Parkfield as a future eco hub, with a focus on how food can be grown and integrated across the site using natural patterns and principles.
Together, we’ll explore questions like:
What could this place become? How might we grow food here in a way that supports both people and the land?
Throughout the evening, you can take part in:
- 🌿 A guided foraging walk to discover edible plants and wild foods
- 🥗 Hands-on food preparation, including wild garlic pesto and nettle soup
- 🌱 Learn simple ways to grow your own food with micro-growing, sprouting, and portable herb beds
- 🍂 Explore composting methods and how to turn waste into nourishment
- 🌀 A short introduction to permaculture growing zones and how they apply to Parkfield
- 🎲 Food-themed games and climate action activities
- 📱Expert advice on using herbs for first aid
- 🌳 Space for reflection and nature connection
We’ll close with a shared meal, enjoying food we’ve prepared together, a simple and powerful reminder of connection, community, and abundance.
Rooted in permaculture principles like “obtain a yield,” “use and value diversity,” and “produce no waste,” this evening invites us to rethink food not just as consumption, but as relationship.
Come for the full experience or drop into what calls you—and be part of shaping a more regenerative future for Parkfield.
