Open Hoose: Climate Kitchen

April 19 @ 5:30 pm 8:00 pm

The Climate Kitchen, run by local community members, is a space for learning, sharing, contributing and working together to do something positive for the climate!

This month’s meet-up theme is ‘Grow Your Own: Plant Pot to Garden and Allotment’.

We’ll be helping you answer questions such as “What should I plant?”, “When should I plant?” and “How should I plant it?”. We’ll be developing a Seed Library to get you started, so please bring along any fruit and vegetable plants or seeds you have spare, with instructions on when and where to plant them, and when to harvest.

Incredible Edible will speak to us all about how to unlock the health benefits of community gardening, and where to go in Dumfries to learn growing skills from others, and pick up fresh produce completely free!

And Stephen Mohan, a teacher at Dumfries Academy, will share a community planting project with his students, showing us how we can grow a garden, even in a small space and with few resources.

Climate Kitchen is open to anyone and everyone! This evening promises to be simple, fun, effective, and suitable for all skill levels including.

The Stove Cafe will be open for food and drinks from 5.30pm, so if you’ve got an appetite for change OR an appetite for a cuppa and some locally sourced food then we look forward to seeing you there!

Doors open at 5.30pm for food, the event starts at 6pm sharp.

Free Improvisation

Free improvisation is a bold and interactive approach to composition and collaboration.

It’s the craft of exploring instrumental forces to create dynamic sound worlds.

Make your own rules! No songs, no standards, no structure. Get together with fellow musicians, collaborate and let your instincts take control in this immersive, experimental and pioneering musical form.

Find out what Free Improvisation is all about, and hear from Free Improvisation’s organiser, Calum Walker, as we ask him ten questions to get an insight into this unique and exciting group. Read more here.
