SUMMARY:Community Meal
DESCRIPTION:An experiment! We’ve been looking for a way to do regular community meals at the Community Kitchen. This summer\, we are going to try it out with a pot of soup and a salad using our very own veg\, with some delicious Granton Garden Bakery bread\, on the last Thursday of the summer months at 1pm (31 July\, 28 August & 25 September). \nIf you want to get more involved\, you can help prepare the meal by coming along to the Tuesday drop-in session in the same week\, when we will harvest the veg and do some meal prep. \nYou can also bring something to share on the day if you feel like it (but absolutely not necessary). Everyone welcome\, no need to book – just come along and eat. We will be at the hand built Kitchen in the Community Garden and Allotments.

Yum!\n\nThis event is free\, though places are limited\, please book a place to help us with planning. \nClick here to book via Eventbrite \n  \nVenue and Accessibility Notes\nWe will be in our Community Garden (this is not the same location as last year’s W.O.R.M.S celebration which was in our Market Garden\, so please make sure you go to the right place). The ground is rough and uneven\, but there are no steps and people have navigated it in robust wheelchairs. We will mostly be outdoors – be prepared for windy north Edinburgh! There are hands on activities\, but no heavy lifting. Please email info@lauristonfarm.org if you have any questions about accessibility.
