October Networking ToursAs the Summer draws to an end, we invite you to join us at one or all of our networking events in October (and into November). For each session, we will be given a tour of the site by a project leader, followed by time to catch up and connect with fellow community growers across your area. Whether you're a seasoned organiser or a recent entrant into the network, everyone has lots to bring and learn.
