The Seasons Workshop: Celebrating Autumn
This all day workshop led food specialist by Charlotte Maberly is an opportunity to consider the value of Autumn as it unfolds, we will spend time in the Floors Walled Garden and surrounding woodland, tasting, listening, and learning how to respond to signs of seasonal change.
