Are you aged 50+ and of Caribbean heritage? Do you have stories about food, gardening, migration, or family traditions that you’d love to share?
Get your hands in the soil with CoCo Collective. Learn how to grow traditional Caribbean plants and herbs, and share gardening knowledge passed down through generations. No gardening experience needed. Bring your stories, your voice, and a love for food and heritage.
Sessions take place 2nd July 2025 and 6th August 2025. Ideally you would attend both sessions.
Applications close 1st July. Places are limited, so book soon!
