Did you know that thousands of perfectly edible pumpkins are thrown away after Halloween every year? This autumn, Urban Edible Gardens are inviting young people to discover how fun and easy it can be to transform leftover pumpkins into tasty meals while helping the planet. Book your place on the workshop 1st November from 12 noon until 4 pm for a fun workshop.
