EVERY SECOND SATURDAY

A safe space for people to get together in our local creative hub of Somerset West and share a little about the book they are reading, meet some new faces and sip away on something delicious. It’s nothing serious and is meant to be a time of reflection and slowing down. This is not only for keen readers but a space to share anything from big books, small books, poems, one’s own creative writing, a simple conversation or even just a smile.

Come with your books, scribbles, jotted down notes and an open mind.

They will also learn about insects and the important role they play in maintaining a healthy environment for organic vegetables to grow. The program includes a practical, hands-on learning experience in small groups, and a guided tour of the garden where we will impart values such as respect for nature, and a love of healthy eating that will serve young students well for the rest of their lives.
