Grow it, cook it, share it – for dads

Join the free ‘Grow it, Cook it, Share it’ sessions, to learn about growing, cooking and shopping for healthy, affordable foods.

For dads only and their children, sessions run on Saturday mornings 26 July, 2 Aug, 16 Aug, 30 Aug and 6 Sept, 11am – 12.30pm.

Parents and their youngsters can get involved with the free ‘Grow it, Cook it, Share it’ sessions, to learn about growing, cooking and shopping for healthy, affordable foods in Luton over the summer holidays. These free sessions are run by Groundwork East, the community and environmental charity,

Growing food at home is not an option for some families, especially those who live in flats or homes that do not have gardens. These sessions allow parents and children to understand how fruit and vegetables are grown and provide information about the benefits of healthy eating and lifestyles as well as environmental issues such as composting and wildlife in gardens.

Laura Ferrier, Team Manager at Groundwork East said, “These sessions are a chance for families to come together, and get ‘hands-on’ with growing and preparing delicious, nutritious meals with sustainable foods. They can learn new skills planting seeds, watering the garden, preparing and sharing food and have fun in the fresh air!”

She continued, “These courses are popular, as they offer something different, it’s outdoors, it’s in the fresh air, and participants have a sense of satisfaction when their efforts are rewarded with new recipe ideas, new friendships and lasting skills they can use to improve their health and wellbeing.”
