A Neighborhood Social with WhatIf: Summer Nights

Join WhatIf for a relaxed summer evening in the garden. Slow down, stay out a little later, enjoy good food, make something creative and get to know your neighbours. Drop in any time from *4pm * solo, withyour neighbour or with the family and stay as dusk begins to settle.

Explore the Curious Garden, let children roam and play in our emerging Food Park (formerly a very ordinary car park), and help us pick the salad for supper from our first harvest of the season. from 4pm til 6pm we're delighted to welcome Caitlin from Plastic Shed, who'll be helping us transform vinyl banners salvaged from the former Jump Space into mini grow bags for you to take home and grow your own plants. From 6pm, we'll be serving a free community meal of Patel Pies & Mash, tomatoey pasta for children, seasonal sides, and fresh garden salad, followed by a table full of cakes made by our amazing volunteers and sweet treats in the garden with some nice summery tunes playing outside. We'll also have tomato plants looking for new homes, so if you've got a sunny windowsill or garden, take one home with you!
