Transition & Permaculture Hull has organised a visit to Rooted in Hull as its May event. This will take place on Mon 20 May 2019 at 6pm.
Rooted in Hull is an innovative urban farm on a site adjacent to the River Hull, near Drypool bridge. Adrian Fisher will be showing us round the site, and there will be a chance to learn about and discuss the techniques they are using.
All are welcome to join us on this visit, just let us know by using the contact form on this website, and I will confim details of the visit the weekend beforehand.
The Rooted in Hull website gives background information on what they are trying to achieve, their location, partners and volunteers.
