Gardening course for people over 50!
by Beth Maiden on April 16th 2008, 10:36 am
There will be a six-week gardening course starting at the Acorn Centre on Wednesday afternoons, beginning 7th May.
The course is open to local people aged over 50, and costs £1.00 per session. Hot drinks and cakes will be available!
We will be looking at all aspects of growing things, regardless of whether you have acres of land or just a windowsill, and the course will be suitable for beginners and experts alike. It will focus on a project (details coming soon!) at the Acorn Centre, like creating a herb garden for the cafe, making window-boxes, and for the more adventurous, a bit of digging and pruning too!
This will be a great way to get out and meet people as the weather gets warmer and (hopefully) nicer, so don't be shy!
For more information, or if you would like to help out by volunteering, please give Beth a ring on 01706 815337 for a friendly chat.
If you know of an older person who is isolated or lonely for whatever reason, OAK may be able to help. We run lots of fun, healthy and educational activities around Todmorden (including Cornholme and Walsden) which are suitable for all, and we can arrange transport for people unable to get there under their own steam.
All activities cost just £1.00 and are always in warm, comfortable, accessible veunes. Do give us a ring and see what we're up to, or look out for our programme or newsletter at Age Concern and in the Library!
