Memorial Garden Home-School Sessions

We are excited to offer weekly sessions for home-educated children and their families in our Community Food Hub in Luton Hoo Memorial Park. This is our last block of weekly sessions for the Summer.

When: Wednesdays from 10am-11:30am

Where: Memorial Park Community Garden (can be found at the back of the park, behind the old lodge near the tennis courts)

Sessions will centre on gardening, conservation and crafts. Together we will learn how to grow our own food, growing tasty fruits and veggies to harvest in Summer. We will help bring more wildlife into the garden, by undertaking conservation projects, such as building bug hotels and butterfly feeders. We will also get creative, doing nature-themed crafts and activities to take home. All materials will be provided.

The sessions will take place outdoors, so please come dressed and prepared for the weather. This means waterproofs and jackets if you have them, shoes that can get muddy, or suncream in the Summer. We will only cancel the sessions in severe weather. We will still be out if it is lightly raining! Please also bring any drinks or snacks that you will require.

We have a composting toilet onsite, as well as handwashing facilities.

Parking is available in the car park off West Hill Road. The nearest bus stops are for the 321, 610 and 721, the Tennyson House stop.
